It's not just any birdhouse.
It's the birdhouse.
It's the birdhouse I stare at and obsess about. We spend a lot of time in South Dakota's best kept secret, and this birdhouse stands in front of the beautiful backdrop.
Perched on a hill, the land slopes away, revealing captivating scenes of the Missouri River and the amazing landscape that surrounds it.
As the sun makes its way over the birdhouse in a perfect arch, the shadows and light keeps changing the mood and feel throughout the day.
The sun lowers each day behind it, treating us to amazing and captivating sunsets.
All for the birds to enjoy it with us.
Over the past five years, here are some of my favorite pictures of the birdhouse.
A cloud clump hovers over the sun, creating a dazzling array of light rays.
A fierce passing thunderstorm gives a safe haven to its residents.
The late spring colors glow in the midday sun.
The amazing colors cast this night was captivating to all of us.
A bird watches the flock in the distance.
This "sequence" of birds makes me smile.
The warm early evening sunlight drew me into the scene.
These were not the first pictures of the birdhouse and I can promise you they won't be the last.
