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 …
I take trail walks because…
Part three of my three part series from the Holden Arboretum My top five reasons for trail walking I love to be outdoors, yes, even when it is cold and snowy (Although not so much when the weather turns hot and humid). There are amazing sights to be seen along the trail...and with so many parks …
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.

And to tell the truth, I don't mind because it is ushering in my favorite …

Walking the trails in Holden Arboretum
Today was a beautiful day for a trail walk in Holden Arboretum. This post is the first of three from our trail walk.
Penitentiary Glen
