Photographed on a recent camping trip to Turkey Run State Park in Indiana, I believe the id for this lovely insect is correct but would appreciate any help. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...

I am weary of orchids and of posting pictures of orchids and yesterday's was the last for a while. I thought I'd post some pictures from our peregrinations last summer, both here in Washington and elsewhere. This is the first and was photographed in Turkey Run State Park in Indiana last summer. We camped there for a week with some of our children and grandchildren (more pictures to come), and this insect was photographed one morning when my wife and I were out for a walk. I had no idea what kind of insect this is and had no references that helped, though I assumed it was a beetle of some kind. It was quite small and quite difficult to photograph since it was moving all the time and the light was not very good. This was the best of my pictures, though I think my wife has several that are better. Thanks to zxgirl for the identification, which appear to be correct if you follow the link that she gave in her comment. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...

This was taken in the canyons at Turkey Run State Park in Indiana where we camped for a week last summer with some of our children and grandchildren. The people in the photo are our son-in-law, Wayne, daughter, Sarah, and grandchildren, Connor and Erin. Wayne, always the comic, posed the family for this picture. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...

Turkey Run is a state park in central Indiana. It is remarkable for its sandstone canyons that have been formed by water and which can be explored by various trails. Some are very narrow, some very wide, some have streams in them and some are dry, but the whole area is very beautiful. This photo was taken in one of the narrower and shallower canyons. We camped at Turkey Run this summer with some of our children and grandchildren and had a great time exploring and enjoying one another's company. Photography was very difficult in the canyons because of low light and many of my pictures were of little use. This was one of the better shots and was taken looking ahead up the canyon through which we were hiking. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...

This is another photo of the area where we camped with family members this past summer. Sugar Creek flows through Turkey Run State Park in central Indiana, through an area of sandstone cliffs, canyons and beautiful woodlands. We spent time tubing, kayaking and swimming the river, which in the summer is quite shallow and slow, ideal for the children. The area is also notable for the many old covered bridges which cross this and other rivers. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...
