Black Hills morning

One of my favorite places in Custer State Park is the Blue Bell Campground area.  Our family has stayed there many times in the last 20 years and we returned this weekend for Memorial Day.  There are several lookouts near the campground adjacent to Mt. Coolidge.  Saturday morning I was awake at 5:30 and decided to check out several of the overlooks.  What was supposed to be a cloudy, dreary day actually started out with a stunningly beautiful morning. 

Here the lifting clouds are colored by the rising sun:
