ake up early, grab a thermos of coff ee and take a drive.
Gravel roads abound throughout Nebraska, and your vehicle is the perfect
photo blind. From scenic views to roadside wildlife, a steady windowsill
and your camera is all you need for a photograph worth sharing around the
holiday dinner table.
If you're feeling especially motivated, visit one of the state's national wildlife refuges
or state recreation areas and take a walk. You're sure to have the area to yourself, just
you and the wildlife you're hoping to encounter.
