I don’t think you could pay me enough to do this work. I’m glad someone likes it . . . .

Can something like this lawn be considered a work of art?

There is certainly a paradox here given the vast amount of water that laps shores that are considered semi-arid desert.

08-13-14 Sailing Towards the Super Moon

August 13, 2014 in Blog, Landscape, Sailing, South Dakota

By Scott Shephard

If you were puzzled by the one-line tease for this post, you should be. I was confused years ago when I came across this sentence in an article about the moon in a fairly serious magazine. Where are the editors when you need them?

Anyway, I took this a few days ago sailing on starboard tack under a light western breeze as I made my way north on Lake Oahe. I'm afraid the moon looks pretty small in this photo but maybe that's because Lake Oahe and the wide open reaches of central South Dakota make almost anything seem small.
