Carriage Hill Farm (August 30, 2020)

My favorite Metropark in the Dayton area is hands down Carriage Hill Park in Huber Heights. Site of an old farm it is even during the time of the virus fun to explore the old and historic buildings (even though they are closed inside, but everyone is free to wander the grounds outside. 

I also enjoy visiting the animals to be found there, and these are just a few. The donkeys and the horses usually enjoy having us pet them, which is really nice and its certainly nice to get upclose  with the critters there. These by the way are just a few. The park also has a lake and picnic areas as well as a guest house. There are even some trails in the area and it is a popular area for horse back riding. Love going to this park on two wheels or four and it is a favorite stop of mine year round.

Rising Sun Indiana Visit (August 24-25, 2020)

Have not been on a real trip for over six months, but we decided to visit this favorite place and that included a hotel room. Good going to Indiana as masks were required. Made some interesting visits there. Rising Sun at left, sunflowers there below. An old replica gas station in Aurora, Indiana is seen with a barge below that on the Ohio River. The Indian massacre memorial to the Revolutionary War event in 1781 is followed by the last photo taken in Lawrenceburg Indiana. We had a great time in the area and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you for visiting my page.

February has been an interesting month here in Central Ohio. Seen some visiting birds, and some fantastic regular residents here at the lake...
