Good morning friends, I am waking up in one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on planet Earth located in the upper right hand corner of Wyoming. Yesterday I arrived at my destination at around 8:30 and after a few hugs I immediately grabbed my camera and started shooting flowers that our friends have growing in their own prairie oasis! The garden these ladies have here is nothing short of spectacular, they should charge admission! So after an hour of running from one flower to the next I then took off on a fun afternoon of hiking the prairie on their ranch. I wish I could describe to you how quiet it was out there yesterday, no planes, no cars, no people, no nothing, just a gentle wind and the sound of my footsteps, it was great! I have told my friends from Curacao and Holland that you can stand at the top of any given hill here and look out in any direction and see nothing but land but I think that’s hard to believe unless you see it for yourself. I had a great day yesterday driving around in a jeep and collecting fossils and pretty much just singing to myself most of the day. In the evening I was treated to a dinner fit for a King with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and corn from their garden, yummy!

The above flower is for my dear wife who is working hard in Curacao today,  I sure wish you were here!

The good news, my luggage arrived! Better late than never! See you tomorrow, Barry
