Clearfork Reservoir is another place we would never have visited without geocaching. On the day of our visit it was a quiet, peaceful place for a walk along the trail that runs along the shore.
After work I stopped for a visit to Moebis Nature Preserve. I wasn't expecting to spot a little green heron on yet another day, but after enjoying the view and spotting a frog or two, I spied the little green heron near the left side of the first image. When they are here, that area seems to be a magnet. It was a very pleasant surprise.
Months prior I had lost my wedding ring while at the local recycle center. I tried to locate it and continued with the hope that it would return. We finally agreed hope was lost and it was time to replace my ring. We decided to get a new set of matching bands 💕 . After visiting the jeweler to pick up the rings, we headed off for a walk together to enjoy the sights along the bike path.
A stream and the surrounding wet area yielded a very nice frog and a damselfly.
The real surprise of the walk was a great looking green heron near a bridge over the stream crossing.
A friend had placed a series of geocaches along the walk on Paine Creek. We were happy for an afternoon to enjoy the trails, the sights, and the geocaches. We had just reached the water when we spotted a great blue Heron along the bank.
I had a few errands to run which took me near the Rogers Road field in Cleveland Metroparks. This is one of the best open fields for wildflowers and birds.
The near constant motion of hummingbird moths makes capturing an image a challenge. They are rarely seen. We are lucky that they seem to be attracted to the blossoms of the buckeye bushes and blooming monarda.
Our afternoon visit a few parks started off well with an osprey sighting near the Lake Erie Shore.
A wetlands pond was busy with summer wildlife.
