The Bunny

I washed Rocky's (my miniature dachshund) bunny toy today and it quickly became the toy to play with today! The bunny was a cute stuffed Easter toy...not so much anymore. Dachshunds much prefer to have the fluff completely pulled out of any toy in their path. When Walmart or Dollar General put all their Easter toys on sale, I buy several for Rocky to shred over the next year or so. After Rocky got his "new" toy out of the dryer, Rolo (my son's dog) decided he wanted it also as shown below. Silly pups.

Seasons in Indiana

Tomorrow is spring and with that brings (eventually) warmer weather, but you wouldn't know it here in southern Indiana as the temps are a bit below average for this time of year. With warmer weather that means trips to some of Indiana's gorgeous state parks. One of our family's favorite state park is Shades State Park in Crawfordsville which is down the road from Turkey Run State Park...another beautiful park. Shades is for more primitive camping and is more quiet and peaceful. There are many trails to explore and canoeing is very popular in this area too. If you live in Indiana and love to camp, hike & explore than you must see both of these beautiful parks!

Here are some pictures of McCormick's Creek State Park in Spencer, Indiana, which is much closer to us here in southern Indiana. One set was taken April 17, 2012 and the fall photos where taken October 18, 2012. This park is simply gorgeous in the fall! I think I love living in Indiana where all parks seem to be beautiful...to me anyway.

Last Year's Azaleas

I love spring and all the gorgeous color it brings, but unfortunately there is non to be found...at least where I live. While I was going through some of last year's photos taken at this time of year, I came across some pics of the beautiful azaleas that grew out our front door at the home we owned in Missouri. Unfortunately, the new owners, ripped them all out soon after they moved into the home. So now, all I have to remember them by are the many pictures taken over the six years of living there. They really are gorgeous and this scripture goes with it perfectly.

Fav Instagram Fall 2012 Photos

With all the copyright issues on Instagram, I decided to delete all of my photos in my account a few months back. For whatever reason, I didn't post any of  them here on my blog so now I'm posting some of them now as sometimes I like to go back and look through them. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year to photograph and the fall here in southern Indiana did not disappoint as it was one of the most beautiful we'd experienced in all  the years of living in Indiana.

Many of these were taken, because of convenience, on my iPhone 5. Using what you have on hand is better than not taken at all in my book.

Red Barns

Here are two of my favorite barn pics taken at the end of 2012. They were taken on my iPhone5 while traveling with my family through some local countryside here in southern Indiana. I originally posted these on my Instagram account, but with all the copyright issues I decided to delete all my pics...but it's new here! ;)
