Another stroll through Art Alley, another eye-catching mural. . . . . #rapidcity #rapidcitysd #blackhillsbadlands #hifromsd #art #mural
We moved from Hawaii to Ohio when I was 8 y/o, and actual weather was such a novelty, I decided I wanted to become a meteorologist. Fast-forward 10 years to that Meteorology 101 class in my freshman year of college and I changed my tune because there was SO MUCH MATH. I just wanted to look at clouds! My fascination with weather has never gone away, and all these years later, I finally bought an actual weather station. It will never be more than a fun hobby, but I'm pretty excited nonetheless. . . . . #sdwx #rapidcity #rapidcitysd #blackhillsbadlands #hifromsd #weather #weatherstation
Historical scrub oak in Cleghorn Canyon. This tree was already 100 years old when Thomas Pendelton and JW Patterson were killed by indians while gathering wood nearby on August 3, 1876. In 1972 the Rapid City flood destroyed homes a few hundred yards away. This tree still stands, and in 1976, a memorial was erected on the spot. Interesting glimpse into Rapid City history! . . . . #rapidcity #rapidcitysd #blackhillsbadlands #hifromsd
I get to visit a lot of cool places for my job. This one was delicious, too.

I dropped everything - literally quit typing mid-sentence - and ran out of the office to capture this amazing sky. I mean, wouldn't you? . . . . #rapidcity #rapidcitysd #blackhillsbadlands #hifromsd #sdwx #skyporn #sunset
