| Wild wood lily in bloom in rural Deuel County, SD |
When looking back at all the photo opportunities I was presented in July, it makes me wonder how it feels like the month was just here and gone. I guess when you are out enjoying the scenery the days go down faster than the setting sun. I was able to get in a trip to the Coteau Hills in the northeast early in the month, then a West River odyssey in the middle of the month. The latter half of the month was quite busy at work here in Sioux Falls, so I only got out on weekends and late evenings, but even so, there were wonders to be found, both in the sky and on the ground. Here are 12 of my favorite photos from July 2018. Click on an image for a larger file to view and thanks for checking in!
