So having taken some blurry pictures of several purple and white flowers, the yellow ones politely pose and stay in focus first. Or at least closer to in focus. And this does give a better illustration of what all the green in the prairie actually is. It's not grass this year, at least not here. It's weeds of various types. Sure, there's still patches and blades of grass that are staying tough through the drought, but a lot of them have gone dormant or -- worse -- dead. Thus a lot of the brown. Still, one has to respect those tough plants that are sticking through the hard times.
