| Rain shower over Badlands National Park |
Spring came late to South Dakota in 2022 so May was quite the month. From finding first flowers on the plains and in the draws to massive wind and rain storms across the wide open sky... The great outdoors seemed a little wilder than other years. As they say, bad weather makes for great photographs, and I can't argue with that. Here are a dozen favorite photos from May. Some showing the smaller details of spring on the prairie and others showing the vast views that can take one's breath away. Click on an image for a larger file to view and thanks for checking in!
