Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads.
We just returned from a short vacation to one of our favorite places on earth: the Black Hills region of South Dakota. Besides the fact that we have family there, it is an amazingly beautiful place with so much to see and do. It's a bit out of the way but well-worth the trouble to get there! I'll share some of my photos over the next few Saturdays. First, a few from traveling there and back, the famed Mount Rushmore (though that is far from the only attraction in the area!), and other highlights:
 |
| Sunset from plane over OK/NE |
 |
| Mount Rushmore, as seen through a tunnel |
 |
| The beautiful Sylvan Lake - one of our favorite spots! |
 |
| Mt. Rushmore framed by Black Hills pines |
 |
| The view from our breakfast table - Legion Lake |
 |
| More wildlife pics to come - this big guy was right near our cabin! |
 |
| Hazy view of Chicago from the plane |
Hope you are enjoying this late summer weekend!
I have never visited South Dakota! Something to add to my bucket list. Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing, and here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
ReplyDeleteYes, you'll have to go someday - such a beautiful place!
DeleteThat sunset picture is absolutely beautiful, as is your view of Mount Rushmore.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Thanks!
DeleteAll your photos are beautiful. The pastel hues of the sunset, the pristine lake, the buffalo. My favorite, however, is the one of Mount Rushmore framed by pines. I like the way it shows the area surrounding the carvings.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing more photos from your trip.
Thanks, Sandra! It is such a gorgeous, unique area.
