Floral summer

Thanks very much to the Black Hills Photography Club, who invited me to judge their monthly contest this week. All the great photos of wildflowers inspired me to point my camera in that direction in Custer State Park and Badlands National Park over the last two days.



Lots of rain this summer has the grass growing very tall, but also making the flowers pop as much as any year that I can remember. It's getting hot though, so some of these beauties won't be lasting much longer. Got to get out and shoot them while we can!
