Hawk Island Park, Lansing, Michigan

Located within the City of Lansing, Hawk Island County Park is a lovely gem of a park that offers year-round recreational activities. These photos are early fall photos, though, so you get to see flowers and greenery and such.

I took my new camera (a Canon Rebel SL3) out for a spin on September 7. I wanted to see what I would get from my 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses, and Hawk Island Park seemed like a good place to do it.

I wish the sky had been a little less cloudy. I’ll go back sometime and photograph this area on a sunny day.

One can climb to the top of the tubing hill and get a nice view of the lake and the landscape.

Throughout the park, there are all sorts of flower and wildflower gardens.

What I See When I’m Not Running: State Capitol After Dark

I wasn’t sure this would turn out with the camera in my phone; however, it ended up looking pretty good. The capitol dome wasn’t quite this bright, and the rest of the building wasn’t quite that dark. With the moon hovering over the capitol like this, though, I couldn’t pass on the photo.
