Garden entryway

There are just so many details to examine all over the grounds of the Empire Mine State Historic Park that I’m sure I didn’t see them all during my trip in April. I still have a keen desire to go back and spend more time exploring — and revisiting bits that I missed or that I didn’t capture properly with my camera. It was actually my discovery of this beautiful state park back in 2004 that led me to realize just how much I loved photography, and I’ve been at it ever since.
