Bad To The Bone

Iimage of 'The Badlands' in South Dakota

Do you know how bad these lands are? They're So bad that...

...well, they're not that bad. In fact, they're rather nice. Beautiful place to be if you like tall (or deep) eroded layers of rock all around you.

Water On The Rocks

Taking a hike all the way around Silvan Lake made for a very relaxing afternoon this summer.

Nature's Carpet

Close-up (macro) image of some moss

I never realized how much moss looks like carpet 'til I got a look at it from this angle. I wonder what my wife would say to doing our living room in this nice shade of green. "Hey honey, have you watered the carpet today?"

Oh well...maybe not.

Cut 'Em Off At The Pass

Looking through a pass at some of the Needles in South Dakota

Continuing on from yesterday's theme...while hiking in South Dakota's needles, we came to this pass that just made a perfect frame all by itself. No need to buy one. = )

Eyeless Needles

Looking up from the bottom of the Needles in South Dakota

It was great hiking around the hills around the Needles in South Dakota. Needless to say, we didn't climb straight up the side of this cliff, but did climb several others...on their non-cliff side.

Mystic Mountain

Image of fog over the Needles in South Dakota

The fog that was over "The Needles" that day made them look like something out of an adventure move... "As our fearless heroes make their way up the Mystic Mountain to the evil overlord's castle, they shiver in the cool misty fog that covers their journey." But despite the way it looks, it was actually a rather normal, warm day (in the middle of summer in South Dakora).

And That's No Bull

Image of a mommy and baby buffalo

These two were only a small part of the couple of hundred buffalo we saw gathered together in Custer State Park that day. There were several mommies with their babies...and they made sure none of us humans got anywhere near them.
