Late afternoon trail walk
Another post for my "Color Me Autumn" gallery I started down the trail around 4:30 pm, while there was still plenty of light. I caught up with my friend Kathy a short distance down the trail, and we walked together for a little while. That's when I took the picture at the top of this …
Splendiferous
Trying to think of a good word to describe the view from the top of the Emergent Tower at Holden Arboretum, I've settled on splendiferous. I wasn't actually sure it was a "real" word, so I checked the dictionary and discovered that it means, extraordinarily or showily impressive. Its origin is splendor + i + …
Script Cleveland
A unique Color Me Autumn photoshoot Early in the summer of 2016, when Cleveland was preparing to host the Republican National Convention, "script Cleveland" signs were erected at three different locations in the city. This week I finally made it out to one of the locations and captured these two shots of the sign. I don't know …
Unwrapping gifts
Color Me Autumn...Again and Again! Today was a perfect day to wander the trails in the Arboretum and marvel at God's amazing creation. Each turn in the trail revealed another amazing sight... many multi-colored gifts. Because you weren't there, I brought home a few "gifts" to share. Click on the sugar maple at the top, then imagine you are …
Trailwalking in Chagrin River Park
More photos from my Color Me Autumn Collection I was wishing I had dressed for winter when I decided to take a trail walk in Chagrin River Park yesterday, but despite the drop in temperature, it still felt good to get out on the trail. For the first time in weeks, I snapped some pictures of …
Can you believe…
This sugar maple tree at Holden Arboretum is one of my favorite trees. Can you believe how quickly it has changed over the past few weeks? Here is what it looked like last October. If the weather cooperates, I will head out to the Arboretum this weekend and take a picture exactly one year after the one above. Why …
Autumn…Rain muted
A day truly does make a difference. Here in northeast Ohio we have been blessed with a succession of delightful days that drew this nature-loving photographer outdoors to walk the trails, ignoring anything indoors that may be calling for my attention. Dusting, vacuuming, reading, and more have received scant attention during these glorious autumn days as I answered the clarion …
Covered bridge tour (part two)
A Color Me Autumn blog post From my point of view, little could be better on a gorgeous Fall day than a tour of Ashtabula County, highlighting several iconic covered bridges. In my previous post, I mentioned the tour I took this week with my friend Lorna who lives in this far northeastern Ohio county, bordered on the east by Pennsylvania and …
Covered bridges and Autumn colors
More from my "Color Me Autumn" collection Today was a special day...the day my friend Lorna and I had highlighted on our calendars as the day we would visit covered bridges in Ashtabula County, and the weather couldn't have been better! Starting early, I met Lorna for breakfast in Geneva, Ohio, and from there we hip-hopped around northern …
