Badlands National Park Day 9

Gorgeous sunrise today on the way out to the bison corrals.  It was clean up day, and a few more bison were loaded on a truck and sent on their way to their new home with one of the many tribes that are receiving the donated excess bison this year.

Badlands National Park Day 7

Amazing light today with alternating blue sky, clouds, and some darker stormy clouds.  I spent a rather long time sitting and laying in the dried mud to get some shots of the buttes near the visitors center, then headed into Interior to visit a friend who's goat just had kids this morning.
