say hello to Indiana
At the end of last month I visited Indiana for a week, and in that time went on FOUR hikes. There are too many pictures to put here so I'm posting a link to my ~150 picture album: My sister and I are both very into taking pictures so the hikes were very slow :D but I think it really helps in remembering that there's something interesting to see in pretty much every square inch of the outdoors. There is always a bug, or a fungal disease on a leaf, or a shiny drop of water.
The Album
We visited, in order:
The pictures feature:
For the most part the locations are broken up by a couple non-nature photos, except for Southwestway Park (which begins at the photo of the yellow spider in the web). Once you get to the art museum pictures there's no more nature, unless you count the clouds outside the plane window.

What a magnificent gallery of the minute; Thumbelina visits Indiana!

The clouds outside the plane window certainly count. Hope you don’t mind my taking the liberty of adding the tag “the anthroposphere”; I created that as a reminder that nature isn’t something humankind can stand apart from, and that wildlife and human activity exist within and impact each other.
(In this context, it would also acknowledge the art museum stuff.)

I was just thinking of what it would be like to be a Borrower photographer, but Thumbelina is much more accustomed to the outdoors :D

Analogous to the difference between house mice and field mice.

Lovely pictures, thank you for sharing :) It's cool you were with someone who enjoys taking pictures as much as you do, you really have an eye for lots of little (and large!) beautiful things :) The flooded picnic table is an image that intrigued me a lot!!

I loved the flooded picnic table! My sister told me it wasn't flooded in previous years so I'm assuming it just rained a lot lately.

Our garden is full of them at present! :o)
