Majestic Mountain Views



Every time we travel to the Black Hills 
of South Dakota we see some gorgeous scenery!
This trip we were in some different areas,
so it seemed a little new to both of us.
The highlands (or northern part of the hills)
were just getting ready to turn color...
another week and it will 
be in full fall color!



I don't know if I was more excited to find this gorgeous
barn along Rochford Road

or 

capturing a mountain lion on my camera
after he just caught his dinner!





We all had the best time 
telling stories by the campfire
and imagining that "big cat"
is just over the bluff ready
to pounce on the first person
to walk to the house alone!! :)






We took the scenic ride home
through Spearfish Canyon...

never a disappointment...
always lovely - any time of year!!









P.S  Please "Do" something you love this week!

I'm linking this post with Kim Klassen's
Texture Tuesday...

My barn shot was transformed with her
great textures, namely "Autumn Burst".

Kim has a great message this week and for some
reason this message is showing up in strange places 
for ME this week, and I am being especially
mindful of it...
so....
hop on over to Kim's blog
and then
find your passion!

Beautiful barn picture. Thanks for joining us for lunch Saturday. Was a fun day for this old birthday girl.

That barn picture is truly lovely. Sounds like you had a great time, and that's what matters, after all.

Lisa, I'm so glad you had a wonderful time in the Black Hills. The barn picture is stunning and to actually see a mountain lion is amazing. That would make for some scary campfire stories, every little noise would make me jumpy!

I can't believe the trees will be changing soon, I'm trying to hang on for dear life to what is left of summer.

Congratulations of capturing the mountain lion on camera, too... that's an incredible feat in itself

Would you mind if I linked up this post to Barn Charm? I'd love for the others to see this beauty =)

You do a wonderful job with your photos, nice work.
I have yet to see a mountain lion on the loose. Some say they have spotted one in our community. Not sure if I want to encounter it myself.

Lisa, this barn is just beautiful, and I love the way you've presented it here!

Gorgeous and lovely. I also like the words above. And it's very true if we take care of our natural resources they return take care us. Because we can't live without them but they can live without us. ^_^

Barn Along I-96
Wonderful photos...I am not keen on the mountain lion...they kill alot of domestic animals 'round here!

Gorgeous images and that barn is to die for. Went to South Dakota last yr. and we loved it. So much more to see than we had time for. We'll be back I am sure.

A fabulous barn. Now that I know about them I can't help but wonder if that's a Louden dairy barn. The cupola's are the right shape. Great shot!
