Took the day to capture the colors of autumn. I spent the entire day capturing the beauty of the season, my favorite time of the year.

This was taken at the Mississinewa Recreation area which is south of where I live. This area here is called "The Sevn Pillars" because of the carved out limestone along this area of the river.

Cindy had mentioned a ND filter, and I remembered I had one, so I used it today on the sigma 17-70 lens.

Here is a little bit of information on this historic area: Mississinewa Lake: the name Mississinewa was derived from the Miami Indian word "Mis-chis-in-wah," which means water on a slope. The area is rich in Indian history. Chief Francis Godfroy established the Miami Trading Post near the mouth of the Mississinewa in 1817. Frances Slocum was abducted as a child and raised by Miami Indians. She was referred to as the "White Rose of the Miami's," married an Osage War Chief, and settled in the Mississinewa Area. Both were buried on project land, and their burial sites were moved during lake construction.

Thank you for commenting, and I hope your day was a nice as mine was.
