February has been coldish even for South Dakota, but not without some good photo ops. I had some good luck birding again this month especially at Good Earth State Park southeast of Sioux Falls. I also took the time to gather some more country church photos to kick off my new face book page called Prairie Sanctuaries. This page is dedicated to images of the region's country churches. A link for that page is HERE. As always, thanks for checking in and taking a look.
