Not Creston, British Columbia, alas, and this is an entirely typical mid-Iowa farm town with rolling hills and corn fields. Not particularly inspiring for photography, so here's four more from Tuesday's expedition to the Montana landscape north of Helena.
Wild sunflowers

No Longer The Only One 
Love those sunflowers in the first photo. The land is too flat for my taste. I am too used to my forests and hills and lakes and streams everywhere. Wouldn't want to live anywhere that didn't have lots of trees and foliage.The rainbow is gorgeous.
Thank you, too, Linda, and ditto my remarks to Star & Carol! :)I found the flat, barren landscape very attractive, but as far as living there, I probably would miss my trees and foliage pretty quickly as well.
Thank you, Star & Carol. I always appreciate your comments and compliments! :):):)
Yes, I have enjoyed taking this vicarious trip with you.
Great photos Richard.
You are welcome Richard. I appreciate your posts. 🙂
Yes, I enjoyed visiting West Texas, Midland and Odessa, then south into Big Bend Country. There were buttes, mesas, mesquite bushes, cacti, sand and various and sundry critters. I loved it for a visit.
I think that's the brightest rainbow I've ever seen.Gorgeous shots, Richard.:up:
The sunflower one reminds me a bit of North Dakota. There is something about flat lands that make storm clouds look so much more ominous.
I take it you stopped for a minute to pick up your pot of gold. :p
I would have loved to. My friend Geoff said Montana is one of those rare places where you can see both ends of the rainbow – two pots of gold? Helena where I stayed was built on a goldrush; now it is all government offices. Another kind of gold for some. 😆
LMAO.
