Today's blog is a continuation of my last one. Processing and posting my shots from yesterday's trail walk in the city needed more time than I had because I had to stop working on them when it was time to leave for my birthday dinner with our daughters and sons-in-law. For today's post I revisited my …
Out of my comfort zone!
The tagline on my blog says it all: "I am at home among trees." Today's trail walk took me far from those trees into the concrete sidewalks of downtown Cleveland, and way out of my comfort zone. As anyone who follows my blog knows, I am a nature photographer, and I find most of my …
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, …
Not the best weather!
The snow from two nights ago has lingered. I expected it to stick on the ground for a few days, but certainly not to grace the tree branches with the lacy trim I saw yesterday. I was wrong. The trails I walked today reminded me of Robert Frost's poem, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." …
Snow Day!
Today we had a Snow Day...a day when snow fell fast and heavy overnight, making for slick roads and dangerous driving in the morning. Last winter we had quite a few days like this along with single digit temperatures. This year we've seen very little snow, no snow days and only a few days with …
I’M HERE AGAIN…
I came back to post the rest of the pictures from yesterday's trail walk. I hope you're ready to see more deer, some new HAWK pictures, and a few more birds. First I encountered these two does. These two spotted me as soon as I started down the trail. Convinced I was carrying food for them, they walked …
A quick post from the park
Yesterday was a cold day, but I went for a short trail walk despite the 23 degree temperature, and I'm glad I did. Lots of little birds posed for pictures, mainly because they were hungry and hoping for some bark butter bits. There was also a little herd of deer along the trail, two that followed me right …
Brrrrrrr!
The temperature hovered at a degree or two below freezing, and the sky was spitting snow, but the trails were calling, and I wanted to see what kind of images I could capture on a gloomy, grey afternoon. Here's what I came up with: Nothing really great. No hawk. No owl. No sunshine! But my …
HAWK: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
Today dawned with sunshine and a blue sky, but by the time I reached the park in mid-afternoon, the sunbeams had done a vanishing act and left behind nothing but grey and gloomy. Nevertheless, I set out on a trail walk, mainly because I wanted to try out some new settings on my camera. Despite the …
HAWK GOES HUNTING
NOTE: This is the second blog post about the adventures of the redtail hawk in Chagrin River Park. You can read the first installment HERE. On my trail walk in Chagrin River Park this afternoon the first thing I decided to do was check out the screech owl nest to see if he was at home. …
