While I was doing a land cover survey for NLCD working for the USFWS, I went through the Badlands National Park a couple times in South Dakota. It had just rained and the soil was still just damp enough for the colors to really pop out.

It’s a really beautiful area. I can’t wait to get back there.

While travelling along a North Dakota highway, I saw this and had to stop for a picture. Sunbeams were pretty common on cloudy days on the prairie.
