With all the wind, rain, and near freezing temperatures we've "enjoyed" in the past five days, I wondered what I would find when the sun came out yesterday and I went to Holden Arboretum to walk some of my favorite trails. My first stop was the gingko tree. I had waited for weeks, since Autumn began, …
A late afternoon surprise
Since we turned our clocks back to standard time, I have to watch myself or dark will descend before I am ready for it. Some days I have barely started my trail walk when some photo opps present themselves, and I don't have enough light to get a good shot. Here is one example: Two things …
Could we ask for more?
The day dawned with fog which gradually lifted during the 2 1/2 hours I wandered the trails at Holden Arboretum. After snapping the picture above, I headed down the trail toward the gingko tree. Eager to find out if it was finally dressed in the rich golden hue I remembered from previous years, I was delighted …
Brrr! I’m not ready for winter!
Unwelcome changes are coming...and I'm not referring to politics. There are big changes coming in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and even in the White House, but I don't plan to delve into that subject here on my blog. This space is primarily devoted to my trail walks and the amazing beauty of God's …
Autumn is rapidly advancing…

Late afternoon trail walk
Another post for my "Color Me Autumn" gallery I started down the trail around 4:30 pm, while there was still plenty of light. I caught up with my friend Kathy a short distance down the trail, and we walked together for a little while. That's when I took the picture at the top of this …
Script Cleveland
A unique Color Me Autumn photoshoot Early in the summer of 2016, when Cleveland was preparing to host the Republican National Convention, "script Cleveland" signs were erected at three different locations in the city. This week I finally made it out to one of the locations and captured these two shots of the sign. I don't know …
Unwrapping gifts
Color Me Autumn...Again and Again! Today was a perfect day to wander the trails in the Arboretum and marvel at God's amazing creation. Each turn in the trail revealed another amazing sight... many multi-colored gifts. Because you weren't there, I brought home a few "gifts" to share. Click on the sugar maple at the top, then imagine you are …
Trailwalking in Chagrin River Park
More photos from my Color Me Autumn Collection I was wishing I had dressed for winter when I decided to take a trail walk in Chagrin River Park yesterday, but despite the drop in temperature, it still felt good to get out on the trail. For the first time in weeks, I snapped some pictures of …
Autumn…Rain muted
A day truly does make a difference. Here in northeast Ohio we have been blessed with a succession of delightful days that drew this nature-loving photographer outdoors to walk the trails, ignoring anything indoors that may be calling for my attention. Dusting, vacuuming, reading, and more have received scant attention during these glorious autumn days as I answered the clarion …
