I love to take pictures of nature. With ten acres of woods next to our house & then the Jacob Schramm Nature Preserve's 30 acres next to that, I have a lot of area to view & photograph wildflowers.
Spring arrived early & I have been out in our woods quite a bit. Also, spring has been drier than usual, which makes it much easier to traipse in "our" woods, too. This area was very marshy when it was first settled in the 1830's by Jacob Schramm. A letter he wrote to his family in Germany chronicle the year he left Germany & settled in central Indiana. The letter was translated to English & now is a historical document. Our landlords let me read a copy of the letter & I was very sad when I got to the end of that letter.
I was blessed with a new lens & have enjoyed learning this new lens. The new lens is a Sony 100mm F2.8 Macro. It is fast becoming a favorite lens. Paired with my other favorite lens, Sony DT 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 zoom, I may never need another lens - well, for a while, anyway.
So, I have been sorting through & editing the over 1,000 pictures I have taken this past month, plus some from two visits to the Indianapolis Zoo last summer that I never edited. I do hope to get all of this done within the next two weeks, before I take MORE pictures!
This Photograph Place: Brown County State Park, Brown County IN. Date: October 2009. Camera: Sony Alpha 350 with DT 18-250 zoom lens.
