travels to the Midwest

I have just returned from Nebraska. Drove from east to west along the Platte River. The plains are a beautiful sight - all of that grass and BIG SKY. I wanted to share my photographs with you from the Lauretzen Gardens in Omaha. These gardens lie on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri river. The bluffs are so interesting, take time to read about the loess soil that blew in aeons ago. In some places the soil is 20 feet deep. Hope you enjoy the slide show. Here is the website for the gardens.
