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.
Blessings,

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.

McCormick's Creek State Park, Spencer, Indiana

Nothing was posted for the last week because I left my laptop at home and used my iPad2 to connect to the internet while out of town...won't do that again! It's just easier to use my own laptop instead of using a family member's. Plus, my DSLR used compact flash and they do not sync up with an iPad. 

Anyhoo, here are some of the pics taken while my family & I were in southern Indiana from the 17-23rd of October. While there on Saturday, we went to the McCormick's State Park which, by the way, is gorgeous right now! We walked one of the trails down to wolf cave...Enjoy!
