Sunsational

Late last Summer while visiting Bear Butte State Park I was enthralled by this panoramic view of an especially photogenic cloudburst highlighted by the sunset.

Shine On

On this Summer morning hike with my canine companions I was so pleased to have my DSLR with me, therefore capturing this rare and outstanding moment.

Evening Storm

This past Spring brought countless chances to shoot some epic thunderstorms such as this one over Windcave National Park in the South Dakota Black Hills. It was extremely windy and yet too beautiful not to stop and stare.

Robust

There is something about rocks with trees growing out of them, like this one standing tall and strong from its rocky base at a lake in the Black Hills.

Autumn Blaze

So happy I decided to hike through Good Earth State Park on this particular day, it was definitely invigorating and worth the effort on that freezing cold morning!

Celestial Season

How exhilarating it was for me to chase after Comet NEOWISE over the Black Hills and in particular capture the comet with its reflection over the lake in Custer State Park in the Black Hills.

Nature Showing Off

This past Winter Solstice 2020 a.k.a. the first day of Winter, the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn was indeed interesting however the breathtaking afterglow from this Black Hills sunset was so spectacular and seemed to last for over an hour.

Epic Storm over Black Hills

Last Summer this epic storm brought extreme high winds, multiple lightning strikes and golf ball sized hail on the South Dakota Black Hills near Rapid City!

Comet Chaser

What an unexpected privilege it was for me to chase after Comet NEOWISE over the Black Hills in 2020, this shot was captured near Pactola lake shortly after sunset.

Prairie Storm

This past Spring brought countless chances to shoot some epic thunderstorms such as this one over Windcave National Park in the South Dakota Black Hills.

Onward

While traveling East I was captivated by this amazing panoramic view of epic storm clouds set aglow by the setting sun so I pulled over and grabbed a shot!

Magical Nature

Springtime temperature fluctuations working their early morning magic at this lovely lake in the South Dakota Black Hills.

Serenity

Last year this mid Autumn hike through Good Earth State Park in Sioux Falls South Dakota was definitely invigorating and worth the effort on that freezing cold morning.

Beam Me Up

At this awesome lake in the Northern Black Hills I had barely a minute to set up my tripod, switch my camera on and capture this fleeting moment between the rain clouds and the sunset.

Tree at Sunset

With very little cloud in the sky I was quite pleased to capture such a pretty sunset photo at this lake in the Southern Black Hills.

Sunday Drive

Last Spring presented me with this favorite storm chaser moment at Windcave National Park in the Black Hills.
