Badlands Residency Day 6

I drove to Rapid City this morning to help the staff arrange my paintings for the exhibit.  It was chilly and foggy when I left, but by the time I hit Caputa the clouds were clearing.  I saw as high as 56 degrees on a thermometer today, it was perhaps even warmer.  Everything at the Dahl went well, and I ran some errands before driving the 80+ miles back to the park.  It was early enough that the sun hadn't quite set yet, so I opted to drive back through the park.  I've had so much work to do since arriving, that I haven't been through the park once and was anxious to see it.  Always a lovely way to see the sunset.  Had dinner with a group of friends and watched a few episodes of "Neature' - 'cause nature's neat!  If you're not familiar with it, google it.

Morning fog over the badlands.

Frozen fog in the trees as the clouds clear.

paintings will hang.  Through the doors is the gallery
where the South Unit paintings are.
