"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." -Phyllis Diller I only have time for a short post today, and I want to share Tank's picture because he makes me smile. Yesterday, when I ran into Tank and his person, Maria, in the park, he tried his best to set the world straight. Being a sweet, …
A Fabulous Friday Face and more fall photos
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 …

One more beautiful day
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 …
Back to the birds
If you are a regular visitor to my blog, you are probably aware that one of my favorite photo subjects is birds. Not extraordinary birds, just those that show up at our feeders or along the trail in the park. For the last several months I have only posted birds occasionally because I have been too …

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, …
There’s something about the Canopy Walk…
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 …
O what a beautiful day!
A beautiful morning like this one brings people out to the park in large numbers, some taking their dogs for a walk; others bringing their toddlers to the playground; and still others come out with their cameras. I'm in the last group. I thought about going to the Arboretum today, but really didn't have enough time, …
Headlands Dunes State Nature Preserve
Hello fellow trail walkers. Are you up for a visit to a unique place today? I hope so because I'm heading for Headlands Dunes State Nature Preserve, and I'm inviting you to tag along. It's not really cold today, but a heavy sweater or jacket would be a good idea because we're going to the beach, and …
