OFTA goes to the Wetland Prairie

There is a litttle lake near Woodhull and our intrepid dozen OF'ters trouped on down to learn a bit about prairie plants. The day was hot, but the picture opportunities were many.




George Olson, our guide, was extraordinary.  



 Even the monarchs were paying attention.

If you love the prairie and its flora,  look for a book titled THE ELEMENTAL PRAIRIE published by the U. of Iowa press.  It has gorgeous paintings by George Olson and a nice text by John Madson.
