Ah yes, my old stomping grounds. USD--THE University of South Dakota (not San Diego people, come on!) 

Dakota Days (D-Days) comes and goes once a year, and I've only missed one since 1996. My streak was ruined last year, but I came back with a vengeance this year...and I brought my camera! 

This year the University of South Dakota celebrates 150 years. 

Cheers and enjoy these pictures of USD.

University of South Dakota Campus
USD looks shockingly different than when I was there.

Yet the atmosphere feels exactly the same.

The gold leaves captivated my attention even more now than they did then.
Dakota Days at University of South Dakota - Old Main
Behold, USD's finest landmark, Old Main. I took my time and composed this shot with multiple exposures (an HDR shot)...really loved the way this turned out. Memories churn everytime I see this image.
Old Main- USD
I climbed up the stairs at Slagle Hall so that I could have an elevated classic shot of Old Main.

Old Main in the fall. Quite a legacy.
Prentis Park - USD
Here's my son AJ exploring Prentis Park.
University of South Dakota - Main Campus
Silly me. As we were about to leave this area of campus, I didn't grab a shot of the new Coyote...so I took this while I was in the car at a stop light.
Prentis Park Trees
The trees at Prentis Park were just like I remembered.
