In this gorgeous homage to the grasslands of North America, photographer James R. Page takes us on a journey through the wild prairie, those areas of the prairie that look much as they did 300 years ago. Traveling from Saskatchewan to Texas to photograph the splendor of the grasslands through the seasons, Page conveys the quintessential prairie as well as his passion for and knowledge of this vital landscape. Beginning in the summer, he shows us the sunlit world of grass stalks and sky as well as the turbulence of fire and of pounding rain and blinding flashes of lightning. In autumn, we see migrating sandhill cranes and grasses swirling in the wind. In winter, hoarfrost cloaks trees along a river and elk climb a snowy ridge. Finally, spring brings rattling winds, newly green trees, and an influx of birds.
