For my monthly photo column over at
southdakotamagazine.com I showed my favorite 12 January photos (taken in South Dakota) and wrote a bit about the exercise of choosing 12 a month to post. You can find the link here:

Some of the photos posted in this edition will be the same, but I also spent time in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and North Dakota in January so I've added a few favorites from those trips as well. As always, click on an image for a larger file to view and thanks for checking in!
