Number 5. That was a hard choice. They are all amazing, but Number 5 feels the most alive: like the trees are soaking up the energy from the sun, so the sun can;t fully shine through.
Number 5 – but it was hard to pick. They are all good!!
#7….. beautiful!
As always, hard to choose only one. But since I have to, I’ll go with 22! Beautiful shot.

Number 20. I have several similar pics as well in the same area. I am always entranced by the pines growing out of the rock. Detroit girl that loves her muscle cars but drools over the Black Hills. Someday I will convince the huz who LOVES Deadwood (a gambler) that no need to retire up north (Michigan slang) but the Black Hills are calling us!
