I spent a lot of last week at the Niobrara Valley Preserve and, unsurprisingly, came away with quite a few photos. I’m saving some of them for future stories, but here are a few images that don’t fit into those categories. Have a great weekend!

Gorgeous views of the sunset ablaze with color over the wild prairie. Calm before the coming night.
