June 2018

The first light after a severe storm beyond Trinity Lutheran of rural Charles Mix County, SD 
The month of June in my part of the world saw a wide variety of weather and wonders.  Large thunderstorms, days of gentle rain, flooding and heat. The old adage says that South Dakota is the land of infinite variety and June of 2018 proved that to be true once again. All that variety allowed for numerous chances to go out and find unique things to photograph. Here are twelve of my favorites from the month that was.  Click on an image for a larger file to view and thanks for checking in!
