Traffic at dusk on the Spearfish Canyon scenic byway |
September is a month of transition here on the northern great plains. Early in the month, the last of the summer wildflowers bloom and by the end of the month the high country is ablaze with Autumn colors. Thankfully I was able to get out and enjoy a little of both flavors this month. Here are a dozen of my favorites from those excursions. Click on an image for a larger file to view and enjoy!
