Cold Kansas Morning

This morning as my daughter and I were out taking care of friend's horses while they are taking a holiday, I was wandering out in the fields to see where the horses were doing whatever it was they were doing. It was a beautiful February morning, cold, crisp and quiet. I heard the soft whistle of quail taking flight from some brush. I grabbed my camera from my pocket, but it was too late. I hid in some trees to see if any would come back, but got too cold. (I'm still getting over a cold and have some laryngitis, so that did not take long). When I started to move, I discovered I had been inches from a bunny.
He bolted in zigzags as if to laugh at me "Ha! You Ansel Adams wanna-be, photograph my dust!"
Oh well. The sky was beautiful, and some dried Kansas prarie flowers begged to be photographed before I had to go home to homework. I'm anxious for Spring Break; I'm taking my kids on a hike. (I'm looking at caves too! Yea! Fun!) Till then I'll enjoy a beautiful Kansas morning in February!
