5 July 2024 Moving Around

It was a day to move around and carry the camera. It started off with a visit to Lake Metroparks' Beatty Landing.

It was a good day for spotting blue flying creatures.

Two rainbows in one evening!

4 July 2024 Holiday Visit to Hogback Ridge

The two-tiered fanning waterfalls at Hogback Ridge are a sight to enjoy. Despite nearing the middle of summer, the flow across the falls was still strong.

First frog of our visit...

Back-to-back bunny sightings on park visits...

Blue vervain was in bloom at the water's edge...

This salamander appeared to be sleeping when I spotted it.

Another frog sighting finished our journey.

1 July 2024 Spring Hill Park

Spring Hill Park is a smaller park with a scenic lake. I was hoping for a great blue heron sighting, but the lake was quiet.

At home, our zinnas were hosting bees and butterflies.

29 June 2024 Mentor Marsh

We made a short stop at Mentor Marsh hoping to see herons and egrets. The herons were very deep in the Marsh and outside camera range. Instead an egret was closer in for an image.

23 June 2024 Summer Blossoms

Everyone seemed to be visiting the summer blossoms this evening.

Check out the saddle bags of pollen...

A song Sparrow for the evening

22 June 2024 Strawberry Moon

Our day included a pleasant visit to Lake Metroparks Jordan Creek. The falls were flowing lightly.

The strawberry moon on a perfect evening for gazing.
