really been there, but I feel as though I have. Like everyone else of my generation, I've watched The Wizard of Oz umpty-million times, both as a child and as a long-suffering parent. When I was a child, it was on TV every Christmas for years on end. I remember my poor old Nana (who presumably thought she had seen it quite enough times) grumbling but still sitting through it, because she knew how excited I was about seeing it again. Maybe she had a little nap - I wouldn't know because I was enthralled every time! Say Kansas and straight away I see (black and white) fields stretching for miles, picket fences, little wooden houses and endless skies.
Of course, Kansas isn't all fields and prairies...

So no more European destinations? :=)
I've never been to Kansas but, I'll be honest, I've always pictured as all fields too :-)
Back in Europe (UK) tomorrow, Claudia!
Sarah - thanks for visiting - will have something other than fields for you tomorrow!
Those photos are so dramatic.
I loved Wizard of Oz too - I assistant-produced the school production one year, I still know the words of the songs!
I don't live in Kansas, but I did live in Nebraska (right next door) for awhile. I have several photos of scary black skies filled with potential tornados. Spent a lot of time hiding in the basement while I lived there.
Wow - can only imagine how scary that must be!
Hi from Australia, nice to see the pics of Kansas. Stopping by from the challenge. Nice to meet you.

I've driven through Kansas and have friends who live in Topeka and Kansas City. I remember being able to see for miles and Kansas City was fun. No ruby slippers or yellow brick roads, though.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote was in Kansas. And I think at least one of the Little House on the Prarie Books.
