For all you nature lovers, here are some wonderful flower and bird pictures (with a squirrel thrown in for good measure).
The Leisure Link is Back October 1st
According to Terri in this post (and I agree), leisure is a choice. Check out her post today and start thinking about how you use your leisure time (or where you can find some).
Climbing the Emergent Tower: Sharing lessons I’ve learned
Autumn is definitely here; I can see countless signs! With winter nipping at our heels (sob-sob), I'm trying my best to take advantage of the beautiful weather we are enjoying right now. Who's to say how long it will be before Jack Frost sneaks onto the scene and dramatically changes the landscape. With that in mind, I headed for …

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

Something brand new at Holden Arboretum
The Holden Arboretum, one of my favorite places in Northeast Ohio for photo walking, just added two brand new attractions. Known as the Kalberer Family Emergent Tower and Murch Canopy Walk, these two features will offer visitors the opportunity to explore the forest in a brand new way. Even if heights make you uneasy, as they …
Molting: more normal than you might think!
When I posted a picture of this pitiful-looking bluejay on my daily photo site, some viewers expressed sympathy for him and his (normal, but sickly-looking) appearance. Molting, the process that causes some birds to lose their old, worn out feathers and get new ones, does leave the poor bird looking pretty sad for a short …
