October 2016

Fall foliage at Sica Hollow State Park
October is always a bit bittersweet to be out photographing here in South Dakota.  First of all, it's usually the most colorful month with trees turning with the season, but it also means there is less light  in the day and cold weather is just around the corner.  Winter isn't here yet, so enjoy 12 of my favorite fall photos from the month of October various South Dakota locations.  Click on an image for a larger file to view and thanks for checking in!
