The grasses and sunflowers of the plains of Eastern Colorado hide the horrible history of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site. It was in these cottonwood trees that over 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians were killed without provocation by Colonel John Chivington and two regiments of soldiers on the morning of November 29, 1864. The tribes under Black Kettle and White Antelope, had signed a treaty committing to live in peace, but Chivington was looking for political gain and took it upon himself to instigate a massacre of unassuming men, women and children.The massacre site was kept secret for years and was not identified publically until 1999. In 2007 the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site was established outside of Eads, Colorado.
This captivating image captures the serene beauty of a beach sand dune, adorned with lush vegetation. The undulating dunes, formed by the wind's gentle caress, are a natural wonder that plays a crucial role in coastal ecosystems. The vegetation, including hardy grasses and resilient shrubs, not only adds a touch of green to the golden sands but also serves a vital ecological function. These plants help stabilize the dunes, preventing erosion caused by wind and waves. By trapping and binding the sand, they form a natural barrier that protects inland areas from storm surges and high tides. Moreover, the sand dunes provide a unique habitat for diverse flora and fauna, supporting a rich tapestry of life. From nesting birds to small mammals and insects, this delicate ecosystem is a sanctuary for biodiversity. The preservation of sand dunes is essential for maintaining the balance and health of coastal environments.

Yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor) is a hemi-parasitic wild flower. In a wildflower meadow it will help to keep grasses in check by feeding off their roots. When the seeds are ripe they rattle in their cases, making them a point of interest for a school 'nature table', and earning them the country name of 'rattle-box'. Once the seeds are ripe it is time to start hay-making, leading to the name 'hay-shackle' in Somerset. The Latin name 'Rhinanthus' means nose flower, referring to the shape created by the petals. In this photograph the flowers are scattered through the middle part of this summer meadow grassland.
