Luck was with us once again on our travels to and from Augusta, WI last Sunday. It was a double good find once again. Two abandoned farmsteads. These two had some character and wonderful light.

We barely covered the whole county and I am sure there are even more in the area. There were several coop farms along our route. Lots of coop farms usually means there is a very good chance that there will be other abandoned farmsteads in the vicinity. That’s been my experience anyway.

We actually ran into a third but the day was getting on, the sun was going down and we were tired. There is always next time.

The Pasque flower is one of the first wildflowers to bloom in our area of Minnesota. There was so much going on early in the Spring; especially once it arrived after much delay. We didn’t get out to the River Terrace Prairie State Natural Area (aka gravel prairie) right away, but made it in time to still witness these first offering of bloom and color.

River Terrace Prairie SNA is just over 10 minutes West from Vasa, MN off of Hwy 19 and North on Sunset Trail. The Cannon River flows along the areas edge on the other side of Sunset Trail. Miesville Ravine County Park is just beyond the river.
