I'd like to debunk the popular myth: Kansas isn't actually flat. At least, not flat like paper, or a linoleum floor, or the surface of a pond. It only seems flat compared to the more lumpy states like Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming.
Instead of having jaw-dropping vistas that demand attention, Kansas has a subtler beauty that you can only see if you're actively looking for it. And when I'm looking I see tiny birds on telephone wires, fields glowing gold in the afternoon sun, and a sky with more shades of blue than a hardware store's paint chip selection.
It is hot and dry, though, and I'm looking forward to a landscape change in a week or so.
