While going through things in my Dad’s basement back in February we ran across my Grandfathers old fishing box. It included several old fishing reels and lures and an old fishing license from his home in Scranton Pennsylvania. Al and Jennie later moved to Toms River New Jersey where we…
Week Eight 2017 52 Project: Camp Oty’Okwa

Week Seven 2017 52 Project
I have been taking pictures, I just haven’t been getting them posted like I should. Today I went out for an evening hike with Julia (my PreservArt Ohio partner) to see what, if anything, was blooming. We found several species, so I wanted to share this one(out of order) so…
