The end of the day

This sunset is brought to you by Badlands National Park.  What a nice way to end the day.  It was hot today.  The temperature was near 104, lets not add the heat index.  However, it was a great day to be in the Badlands.  The summer is moving rapidly and despite the heat visitors to the park are having a wonderful time.  It is a busy time for everyone in the park. The bison seem to have moved down away from the road. To keep cool perhaps? The grass is starting to turn brown in places but the neat thing is the summer flowers are now coming out.  Today we saw Buffalo Burr and the Showy Milkweed is blooming.
