“Bear Butte Spring”

6×6 Watercolor on Ampersand Board

I’m looking for feedback on my blog… anybody?  What is right before you that you often overlook…?

Endless skies… something we take for granted in my area of the world: Sunsets and sunrises… that, too we see so often, it almost becomes commonplace.

Living for awhile in the Philadelphia area, (which I loved), I did find I missed the open sky and the sunsets. Nestled in rolling hills with tall trees and tall buildings all around, all one saw of the sunset and sunrise was a darkening of the sky.  A pink glow directly overhead was the signal of a sunset, which I could not witness.

What is right before our own eyes is a magic we often do not see: watch for the next patch of open sky, and the majesty of the next sunset.  This is Bear Butte, in South Dakota, outside of the town of Sturgis (famous for the Sturgis motorcycle rally there every August)
