Prairie skies

I dashed down a few gravel side roads just south of the city three days ago, when the sun finally came out for a short while. This is the kind of scenery you will find around the city and then, as you travel westwards, these rolling fields turn into the Foothills and then eventually into the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. How lucky we are to have such beautiful, endless countryside just a few minutes away from the city. I had hoped it would rain heavily since then, to wash off all the dried mud that now covers my car from these muddy, rutty, gravel roads, but I've been out of luck. Looks like I will have to hit a carwash soon - hopefully before the snow returns, LOL.
