I had timed my recent trip to Badlands National Park to coincide with the new moon and hoping for some clear night skies for Milky Way photo opportunities over the formations. Unfortunately, only one night provided a small shooting window before clouds started rolling in. Exposure blend of two images at 15 seconds for the sky and 2 minutes for the foreground.

A cold morning provided a nice early morning layer of fog over the lake. The American Avocet provided the silhouette.

Badlands National Park, SD. It was raining early this morning, so I did not rush out for sunrise. There were also clouds on the eastern horizon, but then a window opened and for about 20 minutes when there was light on the formations and Yellow Mounds.

American Avocets are one of my favorite subjects.
They spend much of their time foraging in shallow water or on mud flats, often sweeping its bill from side to side in water as it seeks crustacean and insect prey.
