Have you ever been on a Canopy Walk, an elevated trail, like a bridge, that has been constructed to make it possible to walk through the tree tops, instead of walking on the ground staring up at the trees? My first canopy experience was at Myakka State Park near Sarasota, Florida, and I enjoyed it …
It happened overnight!
What happened? you ask. An abrupt change in the warm weather we have enjoyed recently. Much cooler temperatures and a few raindrops moved in last night, but that's notĀ all bad. There's a positive side to cooler temperatures that IĀ mentioned in my Arboretum post yesterday. Cooler, crisper nighttime temperatures may bring about the glorious, vibrant fall …
First the dentist, then the Arboretum…a busy day
My day was divided into three parts: the visit to the dentist, a trail walk in the Arboretum, followed by sitting down at the computer to process and post the pictures. I'm sure you can guess which part of my day was the most fun. It was a fabulous day for a trail walk, and …

Autumn in North Chagrin Reservation
Hello people! Is anyone in the mood for some "leaf peeping?" I'm heading out to check on the fall color in North Chagrin Reservation. It's a beautiful, warm, sunny-blue-sky day here in Ohio, so, if you want to come with me, you can leave your jacket behind. Cold weather will arrive soon enough, so let's …
A sunny walk in the Arboretum
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 …

This afternoon after Bob and I drove our granddaughter into Cleveland to visit a friend at her Cleveland State dorm, we headedĀ a little farther west to Edgewater Beach park for an unplanned trail walk in the park. I wish you could have been there. As you can see from the pictures, the wind was fierce. …
Hibernating is for the bears!
Tomorrow is the first day of October, and this morning there wasĀ a definite chill in the air. I can sense the change of seasons, and have noticed that my back yard birds and the animals in the park can sense it too. The wheel is turning, winter is coming, and all the animals (human or …
A walk down Memory Lane
Today my husband was cleaning out some very old files and came across these S & H Green Stamps. He showed them to me, and it sent both of us on a short tripĀ down Memory Lane. My usual trail walks are outdoors in parks and nature centers, so admittedly this is a bit of a …
Climbing the Emergent Tower: Sharing lessons I’ve learned
Autumn is definitely here; I can see countless signs! With winter nipping atĀ ourĀ heels (sob-sob), I'm trying my best to take advantage of the beautiful weather we are enjoyingĀ right now. Who's to say how long it will be before Jack Frost sneaks onto the scene and dramatically changes the landscape.Ā With that in mind, I headed for …

Lake Erie and the Bluffs
For a few hours this afternoon I setĀ aside theĀ urgency of updatingĀ my blog before the blogging 201 class ends, and took a short photo walk atĀ 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
