The story behind the photograph

Open-grown bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa) arch over a carpet of blazing red sumac and golden prairie grasses at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City, Iowa. The savanna understory is ignited in early fall color while the oak canopies hold their deep summer green above. A classic Iowa oak savanna in that brief, perfect window between seasons.

A meaningful gift for a fall foliage lover, oak savanna enthusiast, Iowa nature admirer, or anyone who has ever walked a restored prairie savanna in October and wished the moment could last just a little longer.
