In my last post I only had time to post four photos from my visit to the Orchid Mania exhibit at Cleveland's Botanical Garden. Today I am back with more pictures for those of you who love orchids. In addition a variety of orchids, the gallery below includes other things I saw at Orchid Mania: there were …
Out of my comfort zone…Again!
A special exhibit currently at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens is titled Orchid Mania. Today my friend Marti and I went to see the orchids. Visiting the Botanical Gardens is always a treat. Today was no exception. The displays were amazing. I took a lot of pictures and chose four for today's post. As you may have …
Solitude
I enjoyed a solitary walk in a snow-covered Holden Arboretum recently. For 90 minutes I wandered the trails without meeting another person. Ninety minutes of snow-covered solitude is a very peaceful experience. Although the walking wasn't always easy, the landscape was beautiful. It's truly surprising how different the Arboretum looks when the ground, trees, and water are covered …
Trail walking in Downtown Cleveland
Today's blog is a continuation of my last one. Processing and posting my shots from yesterday's trail walk in the city needed more time than I had because I had to stop working on them when it was time to leave for my birthday dinner with our daughters and sons-in-law. For today's post I revisited my …
Out of my comfort zone!
The tagline on my blog says it all: "I am at home among trees." Today's trail walk took me far from those trees into the concrete sidewalks of downtown Cleveland, and way out of my comfort zone. As anyone who follows my blog knows, I am a nature photographer, and I find most of my …
A Fabulous Friday
Consider yourself warned: Today's post is a long one because this has been a very full week with an amazing number of photo opps. Before I could say "Jack Robinson," the week has flown by, and my camera card is filled with memories. However, it's Friday again and time for an end of the week post, …
Not the best weather!
The snow from two nights ago has lingered. I expected it to stick on the ground for a few days, but certainly not to grace the tree branches with the lacy trim I saw yesterday. I was wrong. The trails I walked today reminded me of Robert Frost's poem, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." …
Snow Day!
Today we had a Snow Day...a day when snow fell fast and heavy overnight, making for slick roads and dangerous driving in the morning. Last winter we had quite a few days like this along with single digit temperatures. This year we've seen very little snow, no snow days and only a few days with …
I’M HERE AGAIN…
I came back to post the rest of the pictures from yesterday's trail walk. I hope you're ready to see more deer, some new HAWK pictures, and a few more birds. First I encountered these two does. These two spotted me as soon as I started down the trail. Convinced I was carrying food for them, they walked …
A quick post from the park
Yesterday was a cold day, but I went for a short trail walk despite the 23 degree temperature, and I'm glad I did. Lots of little birds posed for pictures, mainly because they were hungry and hoping for some bark butter bits. There was also a little herd of deer along the trail, two that followed me right …
