Here are some fabulous Midwest photos over the holidays and into January from South Dakota and Minnesota, which albeit cold in the winter, is beautiful.. Most are nature related as I’m still really drawn to the beauty and simplicity of the landscape around eastern South Dakota, as well as the Midwest weather. We had a little of everything low sun across the Great Plains, rain, snow, and even a rainbow!
Recycling. Old colorful doors made into a fence! Came across this on my walk yesterday in Minneapolis!
Barns in @SouthDakota look beautiful any time of year.
A walk in the woods is so much prettier when there’s a blanket if snow!
Fixer-upper in the neighborhood. #southdakota
I feel like I just opened the freezer door – everything has a little frost on it! Stay warm today!
Snow, ice, and wind. Winter on the prairie in @SouthDakota – you have to be hearty here.
First snow, last light.
Hard to believe that in December its raining in Minneapolis! So happy this isn’t snow while I’m in transit today!
@SouthDakota welcomed me last night with a winter rainbow on the prairie!
