Cellpic Sunday: Snow!
First real snowfall Bob was helping our daughter clear the snow from her driveway. What a relief when a man named Otis came along and agreed to clear it with the plow on his truck for a reasonable fee. As far as I was concerned, Otis was a life saver. This was our first real …
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 …
Holden Arboretum

Lake Erie and the Bluffs
For a few hours this afternoon I set aside the urgency of updating my blog before the blogging 201 class ends, and took a short photo walk at Lake Erie Bluffs to capture a few pictures of the beautiful fall day. I'm glad I did. There aren't many days more beautiful than this one. Trail Walker
Today I believe in spring!
I took a photowalk in Chagrin River Park this afternoon.The sun was shining, and it was almost warm enough to wear a sweatshirt instead of the heavy jacket I've been wearing all winter. And it wasn't raining! So I'm celebrating, even though there is some rain and (maybe even) snow forecast for the weekend. On …
Today was manageable!

With ice still covering much of Lake …
