| Sunset at Buffalo Slough (near Chester, SD) |
March of 2020 found the world in unprecedented times. The natural world, however, did not stop or quarantine itself due to the Coronavirus. Spring and the beauty of the new life spring brings started in this part of the world in mid-March and continues to haltingly make it's way towards warmer and greener days. The changing of seasons is one of the reasons I love living here. With that said, here are some postcards of this year's spring start to remind everyone that beauty is out there, no matter what.
