This is the view from my favorite hill on the ranch, Glorious Splendor. The storm rolled by the Great Plains near Okaton, South Dakota, at sunset, releasing what meteorologists call virga, a streak of precipitation that evaporates before reaching the ground. Red tones highlight the late winter grasses as the colors in the sky explode from the setting sun reflected…
One of South Dakota’s most iconic agricultural landscapes. Found in the rolling hills west of the Missouri River in Jones County, where both farmers and cattle ranchers make full use of the land in order to feed the world.

I shot this right after sunset a few days past our first major snow storm of 2015. I'm always amazed at how the wind sculpts the…
I was given the opportunity to soar over Badlands National Park in late summer. It was incredible to view the landscape from the air with the windows open and my camera hanging out. Yellow Mounds is my favorite section of the Badlands. The contrasting colors of yellow and purple together in the rugged landscape seems so unreal and yet so…
Similar in design to a giant dandelion once it has gone to seed, the Yellow Salsify closely resembles a yellow mum at full bloom. Found scattered throughout South Dakota’s pastures it is one of many wildflowers that decorate the prairie.
