Robins Visit (May 31, 2025)

 Visited by Robins over the past few weeks after they built a nest on our porch. Very cool watching it happen. Mother Robin was more aggressive than others were here and back in my Richmond days, but was still a lot of fun. Always enjoy this and fond of things that fly. Saw a couple of first flights including the baby bird at bottom. 

Niagara Falls (May 3-8, 2025)

Sights during the Niagara Falls trip, as well as sights around Lake Erie from May 3-8, 2025. Beautiful sights there. As a bonus, the Kyle Petty Charity Ride made a 2 day stop there during our visit. I did not know they were coming, saw it on the news and their hotel was just a short walk from ours. 

Beautiful and a favorite place to visit, and we have been here a number of times. We also love the Ashtabula area of Northern Ohio and spent a couple of days there as well.  

 

Visit to Indian Lake (April 23, 2025)

Back after a winter pause...we took a ride to Indian Lake yesterday for a wonderful lunch which we split and a wonderful drive to and from the lake. It is a favorite place to visit here in Ohio and wildly popular during the summer. Spring is a great time to visit to avoid the crowds.   

 

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)

Sights during our travels in West Virginia, Maryland, and even a stop (at John and Annie Glenn's house in Ohio) over a four day trip to 3 different places. 

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)

Spent four days once again in Rising Sun Indiana. The photo at left was taken in Aurora, Indiana, the ones below were all at Rising Sun. I also made a visit to the historical museum, to see the items there, a few of which can be seen below. 

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.
