While on a business trip to California one of our customers is only 17 miles from the entrance to the park.  It was an easy choice to decide to drive through the park to get to our next appointment.  Of course I took some photos.

We spent Labor Day weekend at Chain o Lakes State Park near Albion, IN.  The remnants of Hurricane Isaac were to come through and we were worried about a lot of rain.  It didn't happen so we got some great flower photos because of the cloud cover.  During a hike on the new trail 9 we came across a field of flowers with 20-30 hummingbirds darting in and out.  What a sight seeing them chasing each other and stopping to observe us - as we observed them!
