During choir rehearsal this evening we had an unexpected visitor who was so cute I couldn't resist taking her picture. It was one of those memorable moment situations. How could I resist a cuddly little puppy like that? Her name is Ginger, and she is a Cavachon. One parent is a Cavalier King Charles and the …
Celebrating spring!
A week has passed by since I decided to (mostly) post one picture per day until I caught up with my blog posts. Today I am celebrating spring (and the end of my week of posting solitary pictures) by sharing a little gallery. After my morning walk in Chagrin River Park, I decided to go farther afield …
Ever see a duck dance?
I had to dig in my archives to pull out this funny photo. Walking along the trail in Chagrin River Park, I spotted this dancing duck celebrating the arrival of spring. She was entertaining me as well as drawing the attention of other ducks swimming in the bog. Three years have passed since I snapped this happy …
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 …

Nevertheless, I set out on a trail walk, mainly because I wanted to try out some new settings on my camera. Despite the …

NOTE: This is the second blog post about the adventures of the redtail hawk in Chagrin River Park. You can read the first installment HERE. On my trail walk in Chagrin River Park this afternoon the first thing I decided to do was check out the screech owl nest to see if he was at home. …
Is it spring yet?
I heard a rumor that the high temperature for today set a record for this date. I'm not sure what it reached, but when I left home for my trail walk around noon, the temperature was 63 degrees. Really warm for February 3rd. Several hours later, when I went out again, the thermometer read 43 …
Photo Almanac-January 16-23, 2016
The best way to describe this week's Almanac is skimpy. It is embarrassingly slim. The weather was very cold, which normally doesn't discourage me from trail walking, but my earache from last week persisted, so I just wimped out. True confession. Here are a few deer pictures and one little titmouse from the park. …
