Lush green leaves of cottonwood trees along the White River valley turn to bright yellows and golds. -
The colors aren't overwhelming, instead their beauty lies in their isolation on a landscape that can include everything from tall prairie grasses to hardscrabble topsoil. -
Cattle cool themselves near the White River Visitors Center in Badlands National Park. -

Cattails and cottonwoods create an outdoor floral arrangement near Potato Creek. -
Silt and sand erodes from the Badlands and drains into the White River, giving the water a milky look. Native Americans called it the Smoky Earth River.
