Let's start with the Fabulous Friday Face. I was snapping photos in the Rhododendron Garden when Gail came down the trail. "She would be a great Friday Face," I thought to myself, and I was right. We were both enjoying a walk in the Arboretum on one of those rare November days that you wish …

I don't know how many more days like this one will come our way before this wonderful season ends, but I'm guessing it won't be many. Therefore, this week I am going to share a series of posts from today's visit to the Holden Arboretum. The fall colors are past their prime, but they are still …
Have you ever had a week fly by so fast you didn't know where it went? Or what you accomplished? That's what happened to me this week. Seven busy days gone with the wind (and several of those days were very windy!). Here are the high points of my "week that was:" Upgraded my iMac to the latest operating …

After a few chilly nights, the long-awaited transformation finally arrived. The vibrant color was well worth the wait!
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, …
Since it opened in September I have made four visits to the Canopy Walk. The novelty of walking through the tree tops, looking out at a squirrel on a nearby branch or down at people below me, while looking up at the the nearby Emergent Tower is something special that draws me back. There's always something new to see, so …
Hello friends. I started today's walk in the Arboretum with no particular plan other than to wander for awhile and take some pictures. If you want to walk with me, get your jacket on. It's chilly today. Look how this group of school kids is bundled up in jackets and hats. Still, I imagine that …
A walk in the Holden Arboretum wasn't part of my plan this morning, but when Lisa and I finished our meeting, she suggested a walk in the Arboretum before we went to lunch, and I definitely wasn't going to say no. We both love the Arboretum, and who could resist an opportunity like that on a beautiful …
...you could have given me a break by carrying my monopod part of the time. Just kidding really, but I wouldn't have turned you down if you had offered because carrying it is a new discipline for me... and discipline is possibly the best way to describe it because I'm not yet accustomed to carrying (or …
I visited Holden Arboretum this morning. To the dismay of the Canada geese flying overhead, there was no water for them to land in. They were complaining with loud honks of consternation as they searched for some open water. Some eventually tried ice skating (goose style), but they obviously weren't happy about it. The next …
