| An early May sunset just east of Hartford, SD |
May was a great month of shooting photos in South Dakota. A late spring finally sprung and brought with it great opportunities. From colorful cloud sunsets to spring's first flowers as well as the arrival of warm weather birds, it was a fun filled month with the camera.

| A little bonus shot for you. I played around to get a faux black and white infrared version of the shot above and really liked how it turned out. I don't know which version I like better. What do you think? |
