Walk the winding trail or gaze across the landscape, and the dominant colors appear to be shades of brown and grey. These are the colors that define winter here in northeast Ohio (until snow falls). Look a little closer though, and you will discover a richness in Autumn's color palette, hues you weren't aware of …
Come along…
... with me for a short walk in the woods. Click on the first picture to bring up the gallery and enjoy an autumn morning. My walk in the park not far from our home is a special hour in my day. Setting out with my camera, hoping to capture a few good pictures, fills …
Autumn has arrived!
Winter jacket, winter hat, and hand warmers were needed for my walk in the park today. On the plus side, it hasn't rained all day and the wind has died down to a gentle breeze. Hurricane Sandy, aka the "storm of the century", has moved out, leaving many people without power for several days and …
Magical
Sometimes a simple walk in the park on a brisk fall afternoon can turn into a magical experience. My walk today was like that. I'm not sure if it was the crispness of the fall air or just the time of day, but the animals were very active. I posted my favorite images in the …
Lake Erie Bluffs
Several months ago, our Metropark opened up a new location, a small park with a beautiful overlook and a great view of Lake Erie. There was even access to a beach for walking, skipping stones, or picnicking. A few days after the park opened, Bob and I decided to see what it was all about, …
A visit to the dentist aka arboretum
When I set off this morning, my destination was the dentist's office for my semi-annual checkup; however, as my dentist's office is over halfway to the arboretum, I thought to myself, "Why not?" As in why not go to the arboretum after the teeth-cleaning routine is over and done? So that is what I did, …
Searching for my photo mojo
Much has happened to interfere with my photoblogging over recent months. The illness of my sister (and friend) Marjorie for one thing. I just returned earlier this week from her memorial service in Florida. It has been an unusual summer with much to distract me from my photo walks. I did capture a few pictures …
Baby animal day
Well, sort of baby animals. The hummingbird may not be, although there have been some juvenile hummers hanging around our feeder recently. The bunny, on the other hand, is a bonafide baby bunny. My husband was using the weedwacker, trimming along the edge of our grass and flower beds, and out from under the tall …
Blimbling
I learned a new word this week that was used by several blippers on my Blipfoto website. Bimbling refers to a style of walking. Think saunter or stroll for example. It is a perfect description of what I do when I set out for a photo walk in the park. Bimbling comes naturally to me. …
Summer is here for sure!
It was good to get back to the park for a photo walk this morning. I hadn't been there in a while, and it is amazing to see the changes as we slide from spring into "seriously-it's-summer!" Despite our lack of rain, the grass and trees in the park are still green and beautiful, but …
