Flint Hills Morning

My mom and dad were born and raised in El Dorado, KS which is aout 60 miles south of Cotton Wood Falls. She returned to live in this area the last several years of her short life. It's a special place, even more so because my mom loved it so much. She especially loved the Flint Hills, pictured here in the early morning of July 4th, 2011. This area is about 25 miles south of Cotton Wood Falls.
