These are photos of the Cat’s Paw Prairie in the summer of 2000, when it was planted in soybeans.

In the center of the field are the trees of the Bowl, which is a circular area that turns into a steep little valley and runs down into our neighbor’s land.

This is looking east, with Barb Delaney and I walking along the ridge toward the Bowl and the Knife Edge.

This looks east through a very narrow part of the field – just at the top of the Cabin Road.
