Christmas Lights at Rising Sun Casino (November 22-25, 2024)
Wonderful time at Rising Sun, Indiana where Christmas is in full color. Live reindeer, carriage rides, animated displays, beautiful outdoor sights, and Christmas music at the Casino.
It was a wonderful time, which we always look forward to. Christmas is our favorite time of year. On the weekends they have Christmas characters to get photos with and of course Santa is there as well.
If you are in the area, a visit is HIGHLY recommended.

West Virginia and Maryland (November 12-15, 2024)
Weather was gray and overcast, sometimes rainy but it was still a wonderful time to some favorite places. Went twice to Colemans Fish Market for the best fish sandwiches we have ever had.
It was a beautiful time and another wonderful adventure.

Rising Sun and Nearby (October 18-21, 2024)
Always a good time there, and this trip was no exception. Enjoyed warmer then usual (for this time of year) weather under clear blue skies. Morning fog was heavy all days there, but cleared rather early too. Enjoyed the visit there and looking forward to more in the next few weeks, as they do an amazing Christmas holiday.

Hello Deer (October 17, 2024)
Made a morning grocery run, had the car and the Canon Camera. Driving through Carriage Hill Farm in Huber Heights came across this guy and snapped the photo.
Really enjoy the deer though you have to get up early to see them. Thankfully I did, and there he was.
Birds in flight include the geese below as well as frequent visitors the Blue Heron.
I enjoy living in Ohio with so many interesting places to visit, and amazing sights to see.
As always, don't vote for tRUMP.

Niagara Falls Fall Trip (October 7-12, 2024)
We had a wonderful time, and a good drive there. Did not take the toll roads there and back but drove along the shoreline of Lake Erie. Enjoyed seeing that, and also the amazing fall colors during the drive. Amazingly beautiful.
It was a wonderful trip and we are looking forward to a return in the Spring

To Virginia Beach (September 17-26, 2024)
As a bonus, saw many of the planes fly from our hotel room and the boardwalk on Saturday and Sunday. Weather was good (if cloudy) with no rain the entire trip (not the case on the drive there and back). Saw carriers coming and going while we were there too.
As usual had a great time at one of our favorite beaches in the USA and looking forward to our next visit.
