Photos and portraits from South Dakota and elsewhere
I hear pups yipping for their mother, she is out on the hunt.
Hundreds of them prowl the night if not thousands.
As the light of the moon illuminates the sod pillar,
The faint wisp of foot pads steal away behind me.
Yelping is replaced by the comfort sounds of
Motherly salvation.
Salvation Chimney
I awoke choking from the smoke. I thought my house was on fire! I jumped out of bed and slid my pants on as fast as I could. I realized then the smoke was pine. Not my house, thats good, but why was the smoke so thick? It was 3 in the morning, I looked outside and the whole neighborhood was wrapped in a smokey blanket. I swiftly got dressed grabbed my little Kodak point n shoot and left the house to investigate.
