home on the range

this is where I live...
in the middle of Kansas
in the middle of the USA
very near where my mom and dad grew up
we have returned to our home
to raise our kids
where we were raised

    Well your photo made me cry, because my Dad was a wheat farmer in Saskatchewan, Canada...and there is no place like home or being with your family. Thanks for the lovely memory.

    Hey Amanda! A fellow Kansan here, now residing in New York City. I'm actually from very close to where you are (saw on your profile)... My parents live right outside of Abilene.

    From wheat fields to the big city! But I'm sure my husband and I will return to Kansas someday to raise our family!!

    What a beautiful photograph. There's something quite wonderful about going "home" to raise your own family...a sense of continuity and community.

    Even without your words I would have known you were from the Midwest. Your photo says it all.

    Beautiful shot. We drove to Wichita earlier this summer, and I loved it. There's something about that wind and sky ...
