Part three of my three part series from the Holden Arboretum My top five reasons for trail walking I love to be outdoors, yes, even when it is cold and snowy (Although not so much when the weather turns hot and humid). There are amazing sights to be seen along the trail...and with so many parks …
Making connections and fulfilling a quest
Today's blog post explains why photography is important to me. It's more about making connections than about making pictures.
I never know…
Fabulous Friday Faces You can find other F.F.F. blog posts here and my original gallery here. I never know what I'll see or who I'll meet when I set out on a trail walk with my camera. I don't actually plan these blog posts, they're usually just centered around the things I see and the people I meet along the trail. While …
How photography changed me
On a recent walk along the trail, I captured two new faces for my Fabulous Friday Faces gallery (Click the link to learn more about my F.F.F. Gallery). I ran into both Ron, and later Lynn, while I was standing near the split rail fence where I had stopped to photograph some birds on that snowy morning. It's always …
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, …

Another Fabulous Friday Face
Last week I ran into Kym and Piper along the trail in Chagrin River Park. We chatted a little bit, that is Kym and I chatted while Piper kept an eye out for other dogs and observed the activity around us. After a few minutes, Kym and I realized that we had met before. I …
Fabulous Friday Face: Bob
I encountered this week's Fabulous Friday Face when I made my fourth climb to the top of the Emergent Tower at Holden Arboretum on Thursday. I should have posted it on Friday, so I am a day late. Where does the time go anyway? There's always a volunteer on duty at the top of the Tower, …
Fabulous Friday Faces: October 15, 2015
Today's Fabulous Friday Face is Dorothy, a delightful woman I ran into at Headlands Dunes State Nature Preserve yesterday, which makes this post a companion piece to yesterday's trail walk in Headlands Dunes. It is also the newest addition to my feature known as Fabulous Friday Faces. There weren't many people in the Dunes area yesterday, but as …
