Around noon, I saw a glimmer of light in my window and a little blue sky. Thinking that meant good weather for a trail walk, I grabbed the camera and put on my boots, heavy coat, and warm hat. It had snowed overnight, only about three inches, but enough that I was glad for the …
Vile!
That's the word for our weather today. As the saying goes, it's not been fit for man nor beast. Nor photographer, I might add. Yesterday was a decent day, but I didn't have time for a trail walk, and today...? Well, today I was NOT going out with my camera. The river is flooding, for …
Believe it or not…
...we've been blessed with several sunny days this week, and I still have photos to share from my recent trail walk. The image at the top of this page is a view of the river with snow-covered rocks in the foreground. It's a view I never tire of. Here are a few more views of …
A touch of whimsy
On my way down the trail, I had to smile when I saw this miniature snowperson sitting on the bench. That, and the brilliant sunshine, added a very happy note to my day. Hope it made you smile too! Trail Walker
I couldn’t believe my eyes!
The clouds parted and the sun appeared in a beautiful blue sky this morning, and I truly couldn't believe my eyes! What a difference a day can make! After trudging down the trail yesterday under completely overcast skies, with wet snow blowing in my face, I didn't think I would see the sun today. And maybe not for the …
Am I asking too much?
All I'm asking is for a few cold but sunny days during the week when I can go for a trail walk. So far 2017 has been a major disappointment in the weather department. We actually saw a little sunshine over the weekend...for part of the time at least, but when the sun comes out …
A triple surprise!
Walking the trail in Chagrin River Park Thursday afternoon, I was intent on taking pictures of some little birds enjoying the first sunshine we've seen in a week or more... ...when I spotted this big bird that had landed on a tree high above my head. I was too far away to get a good …
Back on the trail again!
Partly sunny! The weather forecast predicted some sunshine, and partly sunny it was. In recent days (weeks? months?), we have had many rainy, windy, frigid, icy, snowy weather days, but very few (if any) sunny ones. At least that is how it has seemed to me. When today's partly sunny prediction actually came to pass, …
A late afternoon surprise
Since we turned our clocks back to standard time, I have to watch myself or dark will descend before I am ready for it. Some days I have barely started my trail walk when some photo opps present themselves, and I don't have enough light to get a good shot. Here is one example: Two things …
