Near Scottsbluff

This month I will be posting photos from around Nebraska. This was taken from the top of Scottsbluff in western Nebraska.

Happy Birthday, Nebraska!

Nebraska became a territory after Congress passed the Kansas Nebraska Act on May 30, 1854. Nebraska was settled in the 1860's after the Homestead Act. In fact, Daniel Freeman was the first one to sign up for homestead land and settled by Beatrice, Nebraska.

On March 1, 1867, Nebraska became the 37th state. In the last few years, I have been traveling around Nebraska to photograph its beauty. Nebraska is over 450 miles wide and it's amazing how different it looks from east to west.

The east is pretty flat and green. The sandhills are in the middle and in the northeast there are grasslands and a man made forest. Last year, I went to Toadstool Park. Who knew that we had something like that in our state. In in north, there is the Niobrara and Ashfalls. In the western part of the state, we have buttes and bluffs, Chimney Rock, and Scottsbluff to mention a few of our most interesting sites.

I plan to get lots more photos this year.

I have been working on photos and photo cards with my photos from travels.

Happy Day! It's March 1!

Today is March 1. It was a beautiful day. It got up to about 60 degrees and it was great to not have to wear my big heavy coat. The only thing I'm concerned about is the "In like a lion, out like a lamb" and vice versa.

Let's hope it's spring.
