My post on Blazing Star early last week covered the providence of the Kennebunk Plains. I sometimes forget how special they are here in the east. A little bit of the great prairie…a pocket prairie so to speak…and right in my back yard. And like true prairie, they allow the clouds of summer full expression. This is the shot I drove out to the plains for before being distracted by the Blazing Stars and Calico Pennants. I included just enough of the Plains to give context.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 53mm equivalent field of view. f8 @ 1/800th @ ISO 160. Program with Active D-Lighting.
