Zeal for the Outdoors

Zeal for the Outdoors

Walking over tree covered sand dunes at the Indiana Dunes State Park started my zeal for the outdoors. More than a dozen years later, the thrill of hiking a trail is still there.

” I took a walk in the woods
and came out taller than trees.”

– Henry David Thoreau

The image above was capture on Trail #9 at the Indiana Dunes State Park. Another photo captured soon after sunrise along the same trail was featured on “Bursting Through the Forest.
