Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads.
More photos from our short trip to South Dakota two weeks ago! The gorgeous, amazing Custer State Park in the Black Hills region is known for its wildlife (and its natural beauty, too). Here are some of our favorite photos of the park's many and varied residents:

| Prairie dog - they are so much fun to watch! |

| Moon over bison! |

| This fellow took a drink from a muddy puddle right near the road |
Hope you are enjoying a great weekend! We are recovering from our son's dorm move-in day!
My husband and I visited Custer State Park in the Black Hills several years ago. Your post brought back fond memories. This would be a nice trip to do again.
ReplyDeleteOh, good! Glad to bring back good memories for you! It's one of our favorite places (and not just because we have family there!) Hope you can get out there again soon.
DeleteI've seen so many pictures of Prairie dogs, but I've never actually seen one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
I didn't get a very good shot of them this time - they are so much fun to watch, popping up out of their little holes!
DeleteI always thought that part of the country was beautiful but never got to see it for myself, so thanks for the wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them! It is beautiful!
DeleteSo much wildlife out there! I've never been to the Black Hills. Thanks for sharing what I've been missing.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Sunday Salon!
Custer State Park is amazing, Deb! And we didn't see the mountain goats or bighorn sheep this time! Stop back next week for more scenic pics of the area.
DeleteWhat fun and evocative photos. Are you making your way home this week?
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, Anne - we were only there for about 3 days 2 weeks ago! Quick trip this time, squeezed in between my son finishing summer session and the start of the fall semester. We have family in Black Hills...and it's one of our favorite places, too!
