| View toward the northwest with Gladfelter Pond visible in the far left corner. Late autumn
scene in which prairie grass is dormant and deciduous trees have dropped their leaves. Red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana) is the green tree, which is the only native conifer in Kansas.

| Vertical view of the spring, which is the circular feature in lower center of the scene.
Taking this photograph proved to be challenging, as the spring is surrounded by woodland. Jeff
Perkins can be seen standing to left of spring (note shadow). Using a CB radio, he directed the
kite flyer to maneuver the camera rig over the spring. The kite flyer could not see the spring
or judge the camera position, because of intervening trees. Note the "skeletal" quality of this
late autumn view with bare trees. Photo date 11/99, © J.S. Aber. |
| Late spring view toward the northeast. This portion of the reservation has experienced considerable invasion by trees and brush, and woodland patches have grown up during the past four decades. Digital image date 6/01, © J.S. Aber. |
