Location
Oliver Nature Preserve, Indiana

Indiana is home to many prairies and woodlands. This was taken of Oliver Nature Preserve in Indianapolis. The prairie is a completely underrated ecosystem full of different types of life, but that day, I just wanted to paint the swaying grasses. I also tried to make the sun resemble a flower in the center and I hope that came through in a way that isn't too on the nose.

Eggy was likely enjoying thinking of all the bugs and worms hidden amongst the vegetation. I know I was.
