Hike into the Woods

While in the Black Hills over Christmas, we stayed in a cabin near Lead, South Dakota, which gave us a great view of the wilderness. On this day, we decided to explore a little.

I didn't know it when I was taking this picture, but Jessica was heading my way, with a snowball in hand...

If you look very closely at the center of this photo, you will find Michele contemplating the grandeur of it all.
