If the carousel is your favorite ride at the amusement park, you and I think alike! Forget the mile-high ferris wheel or the 2000 mile-per-hour roller coasters with all the soaring climbs, whiplash-inducing curves, and stomach-sinking-dips. Just give me a ride on the old-fashioned merry-go-round, and I'll be happy. The merry-go-round pictured above is a …
The years fly by!
Today's blog post is the oldest in a series of three visits to Overlook Park on Lake Erie. The first in the series was posted just last week. The second goes back to a summer evening in 2013, and today's pictures were taken on May 5, 2011. One park but three different occasions. Here are a …
Another visit to Overlook Park
In the blog I posted yesterday, I wrote about the erosion that closed a neighborhood beach on the shores of Lake Erie. As I was telling how erosion had led to the closing of the beach, I was remembering some pictures I had taken of families having fun on that beach. So today I dug into …
Do you know where we are today?
We're at the beach, but it's winter, and we are definitely not at a tropical beach; it is on a large body of water, but it's not salt water. Do you know where we are? Here's another clue: It doesn't look like we're going to get a swim today, nor, unfortunately, any time soon. Erosion has a way of …
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 …
A day at the beach
My destination for today's trail walk was Headlands State Nature Preserve, a unique combination of beach, dunes, and water, with a lighthouse thrown in as a bonus. I hadn't visited Headlands for the better part of a year (that's an estimate). As this was a beautiful fall day, with plenty of sunshine and blue skies, …
The Canopy Walk and Emergent Tower
The third and last post with pictures from my visit with Michael to the Canopy Walk and Emergent Tower at Holden Arboretum.
Windy Walk at Edgewater Beach Park
This afternoon after Bob and I drove our granddaughter into Cleveland to visit a friend at her Cleveland State dorm, we headed 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. …
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
July afternoon photowalks
While our daughter Gretchen and her son Alec were in Ohio, we tried to get out to some of their favorite Ohio sites to visit. The Holden Arboretum and a Lake Erie beach were two of their choices, so we took my camera and headed out to visit both on one sunny afternoon and evening. First …
