Sunset at Mima Mounds

IlluminationsfromtheAttic · May 28, 2020

The strange alien landscape of Mima Mounds glows in the afternoon light of spring, the translucent sea of grass and flowers shining with the glory of the golden hour. Whether dug by ancient gophers or laid down by the retreat of an ancient ice sheet, the Mima Mounds Prairie is an incredible natural wonder brimming with life.

I returned to the prairie a few weeks after filming my last video there in hopes of catching the height of the spring bloom, but it turns out that while my first visit was too early, my second visit was too late! Still, the green spring grass was beautiful.
