Deb & I lived in Edelstein off Hallock Hollow road when we met. Elsasser Farm is this iconic farm just as you turn onto Hallock Hollow. Any trip up Rte 88 should start with admiration of this icon.

Further up Rte 88, you will see beautiful flowing fields. On this Sunday drive, the billowing clouds were creating a heavenly scene.

Just north of Speer, you will find an immaculately kept and very old cemetery on the top of hill overlooking an amazing vista of what must be a 100 farms. We found stones dating back to the mid 1800s. ...what it must have been like living here back then.

The modern wind turbines were beautiful on this sunny and fluffy cloud day. We found this old farm equipment perched next to the bean field creating a fascinating juxtaposition.

Shot from my deck, this view is what drew us to this spot. But tonight's colors made it even better.

Looking over Weaver's Farm, the sunset continued to light up.

Just a mile away, this farm lake made for some nice foreground but wish I could have removed those pesky towers.

Bison were sitting way out on the prairie about 3/4 mile out from the viewing platform.

Don't fret for this bird. He is missing his right eye and is well cared for by the park.

This is the second of two eagles in this cage.

Molly was pacing when we arrived. Hard to catch good shots through the cage.

The attendants placed the pumpkin on this barrel while we watched. Molly couldn't lift it off the barrel so she quite while we were there.

She was sleeping while we were there.
