This precariously perched petrification sits near a scoria / gravel road near the National Grasslands north of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had to hike through a little bit of crusty snow to get the angle I wanted, but it was worthwhile. I love these spring Dakota days where we have snow on the ground but beautiful sunny blue skies overhead. It’s a window in which to grab some pretty neat glimpses of the prairie with some nice light and the warmth of the sun. These days are fleeting, though. Although it seems like there’s always one more cold snap coming to give us a little bit more snow, it’s clear that spring is clearly right around the corner.
