Henry Domke and his Prairie Garden Trust

This month in Rural Missouri I featured nature photographer Henry Domke of New Bloomfield. Most of his photography he shoots is at his 600-acre farm in Callaway County. His previous career as a doctor has influenced his art as he sells to hospitals across the country. He believes that his work has a positive role in helping patients. Here are few portraits of Henry and some scenes around his property.

If you would like to visit the Prairie Garden Trust, contact Henry to make a reservation by phone at 573-295-6349 or by email: visit@prairiegardentrust.org.

Visit www.prairiegardentrust.org for more about his property.

Visit www.henrydomke.com for more of his work.

Check out my video piece first, then check out the images.

Never seen this before, but two common snapping turtles were battling in the creek. Quite the thing to watch. Hoping to upload some video soon.
