Fall in Indiana

The last few weeks I’ve spent enjoying the beauty and splendor of fall. The leaves are in full color and the weather is beautiful. In honor of the fall beauty my Photo Friday selections are pictures I’ve taken in the Amish community of Northern Indiana.

As winter drags on and massive snow storms blanket much of the country I thought it would be relaxing to see a little bit of tropical paradise. These photos were taken in Hawaii on my last trip to the islands. Two shots were taken at the Observatory on The Big Island, the other two were taken on the island of Oahu. Enjoy a little paradise.
