Broken Kettle Grasslands

It's been one thing after another for me lately. I told you in my last post how busy I've been. Burt right when I had time to do a few things on here my internet connection went down for awhile. Then just last night a thunderstorm knocked my power out. But enough of that.

I told you before that I've had a few good adventures recently, and this trip to Broken Kettle Grasslands was the first part of them. There are buffalo here but I didn't see them. It's still a very beautiful place, and that's what I'm going to show you today.


What I have for you are several pictures of places from Broken Kettle Grasslands that I enjoyed, and I'm sure you'll enjoy them too.

Many of these places in my pictures are fenced off from the public because they don't want humans to disturb the wildlife, especially the buffalo.

Broken Kettle Grasslands stretches out as far as the eye can see.The structures you may be able to see in the background are power lines. There are no towns here. The nearest town from this place is my little town.

I took this picture above because I liked the way it looked as if this place was carved out of the surrounding grounds. The background and the area surrounding all of it is just beautiful.

This last picture was taken because I liked the look of that pond in the distance. It looked so peaceful and inviting.

I have one last thing before I go today. Emma has started doing a series of interviews with nature bloggers over at Nature Center Magazine. I'm the first one who is interviewed. My interview is up today, so please go over and read it and tell the readers there how wonderful you think I am, or how terrible. And be prepared, Emma will be asking for interviews from some of you in the weeks and months ahead. Don't worry, it will be fun and it won't take long at all, and your readers will get a kick out of it.

That's all from me for today. Hopefully I'll be back very soon. Now go read my interview.

  1. Such lovely photos Ratty. You are very lucky to live so close to such a wonderful place. I love to go out walking over the fields near where I live. They aren't as magnificent to look at and there aren't any buffalo but I love them and the countryside just the same.

  2. One of my absolute favorite areas to visit. I have had some fun in this prairie. A friend has a memorial bench at this area.
