Nature in (slow-mo) action

Lincoln gets around to posting up the pictures he could find from his trip to Nolte State Park two years ago. It's a small park, but it was a loaded with beauty. Despite the fact that this park is quite close to where he grew up, not only had he never visited it before, he wasn't even aware it existed until the day he took these pictures. This is a good example of why you should read road signs. You never know what you might miss. Read about it here.
