Celebrating my Birthday with a Meadowlark's Melody

Wandering through the Kiowa National Grasslands made for a spectacular birthday with the song of 'larks singing a joyful celebration of life and the season.

After driving through miles of open former bison grounds Murphy and I needed a place to camp and light was fading ... we found a magical site

This was the dawn on my birthday morning in Kiowa

Our camp is one of the abandoned homestead sites

Antelope were always wary but curious

The road led to more wonderful encounters and stunning vistas ... open skies!
