Kansan tinkering with prairie restoration. Cheer for a surprisingly large number of mostly bad teams for distraction.
It's always eerie looking when they harvest in the dark because the combines kick up so much dust.

For some reason, the abandoned field where I'm doing some work this fall has sprouted dozens of enormous volunteer beets.

Paper wasp hanging out on my car. Apparently it was the place to warm up during this week's cooler weather.

Good news for native gardeners in KCMO. The city has changed weed regs to be more native-friendly. Photos from article & were taken by KC Star photographer Dominick Williams. #nativeplants

Time to seed for next spring. These are redbuds and sweet Joe Pye weed from my yard to be spread in an island of trees in the middle of a small hayfield. Spent the summer clearing winter creeper and bush honeysuckle so there is plenty of ground under mature locusts and hackberries.

Pelicans that have been hanging out for a few weeks at the #wetlands have been joined by cormorants although they maintain strict segregation.

Early part of the sunset. Much prettier later, but I was walking the dogs and they made it quite clear they were not interested in lingering to admire the view.

One fun feature of doing restoration work in the woods is finding new ways to get hurt. Kneeling down to pull winter creeper vines and I got hit on the back of the head by a falling Osage orange. Those things really hurt!

Drought and unseasonable warmth have mostly screwed up our fall colors, but there are still a few good looking trees around.

These pelicans have been hanging out for a few weeks.

Bunch of insects sunning themselves on my car. Stink bug, leaf-footed bug and a yellow jacket.

Hanging on in defiance of the season and the surroundings.

River at the boat ramp. Very low because we're back in extreme drought after breaking out a couple of months ago. Yuck

Just one group of trick or treaters this year. What a bust.
