Portland Blossoms

February 15th, 2010

Since it’s still snowy and cold in Ohio I wanted to post another shot from our trip to New England in June 2009. Here is a shot of the blossoms at Portland Head Lighthouse in Portland, Maine. It’s hard to find a picture of Portland Head that doesn’t include these prolific pink flowers.

Winter Reminder

February 1st, 2010

Nothing like a big snow storm in February to remind everyone that we’re still months away from Spring (for anyone who thought maybe we were getting there early this year) The region was hit hard by a big storm that dropped 12+ inches of snow on our town. Most of the snow came on Friday night which means most of the weekend was spent inside preparing for the coming week.

Toledo vs Colorado

January 18th, 2010

Had the chance to attend the Toledo Rockets vs Colorado Buffalo football game in Toledo. With new head coach, Tim Beckman at the helm, the Rockets handed Colorado their second consecutive loss and their first ever at the hands of a MAC team.

Snail Tree

Caught this shot hiking, once again, near Old Man’s Cave. The unique growth of this tree looks like the head of a snail to me. This tree is growing out over the cliff and perched more than 100 feet above the hiking trail below.

Fern

One more shot from hiking near Old Man’s Cave in Southern Ohio. This little fern had sprouted up right next to this sandstone boulder and turned up toward the sun; away from the endless shadows near the cliff above.

It’s still Jacob’s Field to me…

Caught this shot of the Jacob’s Field in Cleveland when we went to see the Indians and White Sox face off. We had pretty good seats, as you can tell from the picture.

Out the window

Caught this shot while hiking at the Rock House – near Old Man’s Cave. One of my favorite places, locally, to hike, the “Rock House” has a ton of these windows that pass out into the woods.

The Cannons at Fort Meigs

November 3rd, 2008

Caught this shot of the cannons at Fort Meigs while in Toledo for a UT football game.

Fort Meigs is a War of 1812 battlefield located in Perrysburg, Ohio. A reconstructed fort and museum help bring history alive. Fort Meigs is one of fifty-eight sites within the Ohio Historical Society. Along with school tours and interactive displays, a number of reenactments and special events take place here throughout the summer. Dedicated staff and volunteers allow Fort Meigs to bring fun and education to hundreds of visitors each year.

Pretty neat to traipse around the grounds and have a good look at things – I recommend visiting if you’re ever in the area.

Another shot from the UT vs. FIU game. Shooting the telephoto from the lower seats in the Glass Bowl let me get in really close on the offensive line and QB as they set up for the next play.
