I snapped these photos the other day of our quickly disappearing prairie. It seems each day there is a new development going up. A new, very large development was just approved where I took most of these pictures. I'm not sure who is buying all these homes since everywhere you look, there are homes for sale, but they just keep building and building, like it's an obscession or something. We often sing a song with a slight variation of words, 'Pave Paradise, put up a housing development......' as we drive around here. Sadly, once the beauty of this area is gone it can never return, whether it be the prairie, the mountains and streams, the natural wetlands, or the lake front. Many of us will only have memories of what used to be before progress came in and took over. Take some time this weekend to look around and enjoy your favorite spot, because you never know what will become of it in the near future.

Frenetic growth, for sure. Too bad. You're right - it won't come back - once it's destroyed, it's gone f'rever.
