Summer at Spring Mill 2

This is the Pioneer Village. It's a pretty fun place to be during the summer because it is an active "village." The water wheel was turned on about every hour for the public and the saw mill was turned on a couple times a day on the weekends.
I thought the leaves made a cool pattern. :)
One of the creeks running through Spring Mill.
Hamer Cemetary
This is Donaldson Cave...there is a wet and a dry side to it. Anybody can go in the dry side, but you have to get a special permit from the park office to go in the wet side. Unfortunately, I did not get to go in this cave, but I did go in others. I hope to go back and go through it someday. Apparently you have to swim in certain parts.

These were all taken during my internship at
Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, IN this summer. I worked mainly at night so I got out a lot during the day and went hiking or driving around. :)

Thanks for the great photos of Spring Mill. I grew up in Indiana, but never made it to Spring Mill. We'll have to check it out the next time we get up that direction.

If I was there I would make my way straight to the cemetary - I love walking around them.

Your photos reminded me of England in Summer oh so very green and lush.

Take care, Judith

I love the photo of the leaves! You are right about the lovely pattern. I especially like the way you can see the shadows of other leaves through some of them, all the layers of leaves, and the way the light can simply shine through!
Thanks for sharing!
