It was a busy week getting ready for the Hocking Hills Artist and Craftsmen Show, and then I spent the weekend working on our van conversion project, so I didn’t get out any where to take pictures. I did go out into the garden for a few shots though, and…
I finally made it to the Paw Paw Festival on September 16th. It seems like every year it was the same weekend as the Alley Park Show, but this year it wasn’t. There weren’t really a lot of things to take pictures of, but I got to try paw paw…
On September 4th I finally managed to get Julia out on a hike. Her mom and Mike came out with us as well. We first visited Whispering cave in the Hocking Hills. This new trail opened up in the spring, but it hasn’t taken long for people to find it.…
On Wednesday, August 30th, Cathy and I took a road trip to Yellowsprings and visited the Tecumseh Sunflower Field and then stopped by the Glen Helen Nature preserve. There is a lot to see in the Yellowsprings area, and I highly recommend a visit. Clifton Gorge, Clifton Mill, and John…
This weekend I went on a camping trip with the Central Ohio Photographic Society. It was a fun but exhausting weekend. Friday night we shot the Milkyway. It wasn’t very easy to see on the lake, so we ventured to the old school house where we were able to do…
Solar Eclipse. After watching weather, traffic and timing, we finally ended up at Lake Murphysboro State Park near Carbondale, IL. Unfortunately I hadn’t realized that the sun had moved behind the tree branches a bit right as the total solar eclipse occurred. The pictures weren’t what I was hoping for,…
On August 5th I took a hike to Walnut Woods Metro park. It was a nice hike with a friend. The open prairie areas in the Big Pine area were alive with activity. Lots of flowers were in bloom and the insects were enjoying them.
In mid July I decided it was time to get out of the house for a bit. There was a Turtle Walk at Boch Hollow (a slow hike where the naturalist Lauren just answers questions about what ever we happen to find along the trail), so I grabbed my camera…
Mike and I took a circle tour trip around Lake Michigan. It was sort of a spur of the moment thing. We knew we were going on vacation but didn’t know exactly when or where until a few days before. The trip started July 6th and ended with a final…
On June 28th I took a trip to Rhododendron Cove State Nature preserve. The native Rhododendron bloom much later than the cultivars we see in town, but I did almost miss them. A few were still budding out, and lots of other wildflowers were blooming as well.
