Broad open landscapes are something one grows almost used to living in South Dakota.  This watercolor painting of a South Dakota landscape shows the subtle color and beautiful variety of the landscape where I live.

Every once in awhile I remind myself of how much I missed seeing the sky, and most especially sunsets, while living in Pennsylvania.  This is true!  The hilly land combined with tall tress (never mind the tall buildings!) blocked out all but what was directly above you.  I could see the sky change from blue to pink, to dark  on a clear evening.  So lesson here: enjoy what you have: someone else doesn’t have the same thing… let them enjoy what it is THEY have!
