Badlands...

I had an absolutely wonderful day yesterday!  The weather cooperated...mild temps..a bit breezy, but lots of sunshine.  We headed over to the Badlands around 11am and just lookie what I saw....
 Or maybe they saw me.....
 There is just something special about seeing one of these free and wild.....beautiful, majestic animals
 I love the song this guy sings...but I have not looked up what he is....anyone know?
 Just takes your breath away....
 Look at that big blue sky....awesome!
I could not believe my eyes....a whole field full of these prairie dogs.  As soon as I stepped out of the truck they scattered and chattered....barking and squealing.  
 Peeking from their burrows....
 All but this guy....he came right up to me...within about 2 feet....sat up and said "howdy"!
And last but not least....I spotted this mule deer looking up from the brush...."what big ears you have"!
Great big wonderful Day!

  4. Loving your posts on South Dakota. We were there a couple of years ago before we were RVing, we stayed in a vacation home. We would love to go back now with the RV and more time to explore.
