Signs of Spring
Mar 30, 2018
Although winter has held us in its clutches for far too long, spring is starting to show itself. The land is thawing, the earth is awakening and the silent skies are once again filled with song.
Most of the buffalo have returned home from their winter grazing pasture on the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands. They are as fat as bears, the mothers heavy with calves. Soon, very soon - new baby buffaloes!
Spring isn't spring without robins. Always the first to arrive. Welcome home.
They sky has started to soften with its pastel colors, illuminating a hint of green on the prairie.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a wonderful spring.

Love the photos. More would be welcome anytime.
Beautiful, made me feel as if I where their. Thank you for what you do.
We’ve been gone from the Hills for some years, but I remember our first Spring there. The sun warming things up, grass beginning to turn green and the patches of snow hanging near the ridge-tops on the Eastern Rim. I remember the annual buffalo roundup at Custer State Park, with horses, ATVs, and trucks moving the herd toward the corrals for branding and vaccination.
Truly, the Black Hills are a sacred place.
