It caught my immediately a couple of days ago. It looked a lot better in person than the photo looks. Oh well, I still like the way it... nature eravau 2006-12-04T00:00:01-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000286.html The Badlands are like ogres...are like onions...they have layers. -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2006-01-24T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000285.html Layer upon layer...century upon century...millenia upon millenia. You can see them all stacked up here. -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2006-01-22T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000284.html 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.... nature eravau 2005-12-23T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000283.html My daughter, the "mother" of this baby, loves this image. -Tony (Eravau)... close-up eravau 2005-12-21T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000282.html Taking a hike all the way around Silvan Lake made for a very relaxing afternoon this summer. -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2005-12-20T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000281.html 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,... nature eravau 2005-12-19T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000280.html 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. = ) -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2005-12-18T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000279.html 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. -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2005-12-17T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000278.html The fog that was over "The Needles" that day made them look like something out of an adventure move...

There were several mommies with their babies...and they made sure none of us humans got anywhere... nature eravau 2005-12-15T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000274.html This poor tree is another plant that was living on the rock-hard terrain of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Unfortunately, it looks like other forces of nature were a bit much for it. -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2005-11-02T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000273.html This lonely tree is another plant that seemed to be thriving despite the terrain being mostly stone. -Tony (Eravau)... nature eravau 2005-10-28T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000272.html This little baby-sized (about 1/2 inch across) flower was growing atop some very rocky terrain in Custer Hills State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It's amazing the places that beauty can grow despite the tough environment.... close-up eravau 2005-10-27T00:01:00-06:00 http://www.tonycolter.com/photo_archive/000271.html After ignoring pop (soda) completely for several months in order to kick the sugar habit, I've re-started...only with diet. It's amazing how nice diet pop tastes when you've been without any carbonated beverage for so long. -Tony (Eravau)... close-up eravau 2004-09-10T00:01:00-06:00
