KANSAS
Savannah, Santa Fe, Montana Laurel Canyon, Susquehanna San Francisco or Manhattan Eat your heart out, I'm in Kansas I'm in Kansas, Handsome Kansas In the land of long romances Fertile plants and cash finances Handsome mansions, the advance Of man's expansion here in Kansas, Rembrandt, Cezanne, could've painted Kansas The landscape's like the south of France is. Chopin would have written dances Had he hung his pants in Kansas. All the saints, including Francis, Prayed that if the Good Lord grants us Second chances, could we Transubstantiate to Kansas? by Garrison Keillor |

"From the upper branches of the cottonwood trees overhead -- whose shimmering, tremulous leaves are hardly ever quiet, but if the wind stirs at all, rustle and quiver and sigh all day long -- comes now and then the soft melancholy cooing of the mourning dove, whose voice always seems far away."

Nice photos but I have never forgotten some interesting facts about Kansas I learned when stationed there with the USAF. The state tree is the telephone pole and the state bird is the mosquito :rotf:
I was also told Kansas is not the end of the world, but you can see it from there. |
Strange but that is the state bird for louisana too.
|
I thought the Wicked Witch was the state bird of Kansas. The mosquito is the state bird of Georgia

We must be back in Kansas Dorothy, I see a S. Neglecta. Nice to be home Auntie Em.:) Those Meadowlarks once drove my young lab pup nuts until he figured he could'nt catch them and we would'nt shoot them.
|
ow... my grandson came home one evening telling me of all the quail he was seeing kinda got my attention we grabbed our guns and off we went it turned out they were meadow larks. wish i could have took a picture of his face he was so imbarrassed... charlie
|
At least he knows he should be looking for quail.
|
Back when the KS limit was 12 quail, a fella stopped at a check in station on I-70 during deer season to show off his 12...all Meadow Larks...$100 each :shock:
|
My wife and I really have the itch to come out west and hunt pheasants and maybe sharptails. Not this year, but hopefully soon. Is all the hype about South Dakota justified or are there good places elsewhere too? From these photos, I could go with Kansas
|
Bruce and Drew, would you please quit broadcasting it?! I remember a day afield when my late father-in-law, noting the over-abundance of plates from a neighboring state, said disgustedly, "I feel like I'm in downtown Denver!"

Kansas 'farmers' likely have an advanced degree from KU or K-State and don't take kindly to some sport from Johnson Co. talking down to them, when one of their kids is likely to be the sport's senior partner at Spencer Fane Britt & Browne in KC or boss at Sprint:nono:
