Dreamy Reflections

I am never disappointed whenever I visit any lake in the Black Hills, especially loved this gorgeous Summer evening in Custer State Park.

While I mostly enjoy just an unadulterated landscape scene, sometimes I like to have people in my photos to give a sense of scale such as this one, these two ladies were also enjoying a peaceful evening at the lake.
