Prairie pictures

I went over to a local park this afternoon and took my painting stuff and my camera. The snow is mostly melted off. Taking pictures in the middle of a sunny day is a real challenge. Your eye sees a million shades of dark to light but the camera never seems to be able to get the true picture. Either the sky washes out or the ground is too dark. Or it all turns bluish because it's so bright. So I tried fooling with them to get the detail in both ground and sky. At any rate, here is a prairie picture.
