Revisited “Artspark” today…lush, dense, summer foliage.
From a Nov 2016 post. Mother Nature impresses us with bold fall colors and textures. Bonus discovery! the Indianapolis Art Center’s featured outdoor sculptures. Check these out:
Crescendo
Great way to add interest to parking lot with flowers, herbs, vegetables
Canoe launch site
There is more to see of the grounds!
Turkey Run State Park hiking trail (foot traffic only) AKA Narrows Covered Bridge
Modern concrete bridge directly behind the original covered one (notice the arches).
Downstream view
Built in 1882. The purpose of covering the bridge was to extend the life of the wooden supporting beams (safety).

Corn mazes around the USA
Skelly’s Farm in Janesville,
Wisc., has been cutting corn mazes since 1998. They have a 6 acre “Adventure Corn Maze” and a larger 9 acre puzzle called “The Impossible Maze.”
60th Annual Parke County, Indiana Covered Bridge Festival
Two weeks starting the second Friday in October.
We missed the crowds on a rainy afternoon, drove over this bridge named “Rolling Stone” built in 1915 and took these photos.

It was October 1995.
Walking to Meadow
Crrrrisssppcccrrracckllewwooosshh walking through autumn leaves.
Wide trail lined with small trees and undergrowth
Deep ruts from tractor tires
Adjacent to small irregular shaped fields for corn and soybeans
Winding stream with rocky bed to cross twice
The stream
Broad wings take hawk gliding above tree tops
A mossy granite block marks the place where a one room farm-house stood
I stopped near the end of the road by steep eroded bank
Observing bright afternoon sun’s reflection on a calm pool in stream
A cool gust of wind sends ripples across water
Twinkling stars appear on the surface
My destination is meadow bounded by tree covered ridges
Meadow with island of tulip trees
Tulip trees with bright yellow leaves
Tulip trees with brown flower pods pointed to clear blue sky
Elements earth and sky connect through trees
I found my connection with earth and sky walking to meadow
