Indiana dunes west beach

I visited the Indiana dunes, west beach for the first time in my life, and I was simply amazed. As you drive into the entrance, you are consumed by the sheer magnificent nature. The first thing you see are the stages of inland marsh which draw deeper to ponds.

The dunes dwarf you as a pull up to them. Large walkways and stairs help you to climb the dunes. I couldn't help but climb a dune and dig around for anything I could find. All I came up w is old beer pull tabs.

It is amazing as soon as you pull into the west beach location.

On the other side of the road there are long stretchs of dune grass and small ponds

I saw a blue herring take flight, too bad my camera could zoom in on it.

Here is a shot of the Blue herring.

It is hard to see but if you look at the three small pine trees, just above the center one is a beautiful walking trail.

I was simply set back by the sites of all there is to see, and do at this amazing park.   

Soon this Blue Evo will take flight, no honestly a Perrigrin Falcon dove down in the background, way too quick for me to shoot.
