21 December 2023 A Stroll at Sunnybrook on the Shortest Day

We decided to visit Sunnybrook for a snowy walk on the shortest day of the year. The stream was open water, but the vernal pool had a thickening layer of ice. It was a peaceful walk on the day that signaled daytime would be getting longer soon.

2 January 2023 Sleeping In

Phin was progressing with his recovery from surgery while Liz decided to join for a sleep in. 

Once we were up and about and happy to be home again, we decided to visit Sunnybrook Preserve with Liz and Phin to find a recently published geocache.

The stream running through the park was showing ice around the edge of the water.

The large vernal pool at the park is quiet now and waiting for the first signs of spring.

7 April 2020 Visiting Sunnybrook

 Sunnybrook is an interesting park in Geauga.  It offers a nice trails through the park and a good walk.  During the spring it also has good quantities of wildflowers.  It's never been a good birding park for us.  This evening we stopped hoping to see some of the many bloodroot in bloom.  The blooms were closing for the evening, but still pleasant to see and very plentiful.  We were also happy to spot blue cohash alongside the trail.

We stopped to visit Geauga's latest gem this afternoon. It has been a few years since we enjoyed a walk through these woods. These woods used to be mainly chestnut until the blight took hold in the area. When the remaining chestnuts were timbered out, 300,000 board feet were taken. The woods must have been grand.
