Morning Blue Heron (September 9, 2024)


 On a beautiful Monday morning, I was up earlier than usual. Took a walk to the lake, and saw this sight while wandering around the area. Made me very happy on a Monday morning.

Sights in the Neighborhood (September 1-2, 2024)

Love living in Ohio, where there are amazing things to see and do. Last couple of days have seen some very beautiful sights. The White Squirrel was a cool sight. Rare, though have seen them before, but not very often. 

Out in Huber Heights yesterday saw the horses,. Always enjoy seeing them, very majestic. 

As for the Blue Heron that was over a two day period. Saw it in flight at the lakes near the house on September 1. Saw it in the water on September 2. Just a beautiful and majestic bird.     




 

Louisville/Rising Sun (August 25-29, 2024)



After a couple of days at home, got back out on the road and visited friends and family in Louisville, Kentucky. Saw some of the sights there. Louisville is a very beautiful city with a lot to see and do, and to the best of our ability and in the short time we had of a couple of days, we did it. 

Lots of history in Louisville, and many things to see. We explored the historic Cave Hill Cemetery, went by the Louisville Slugger factory and saw some of the sights all over town. Even enjoyed a few good meals. It was a great time and looking forward to our next visit. 

Just have one photo from Rising Sun, a very early morning photo taken of the Ohio River. Had a great time there though for three days as it is one of our favorite places in Indiana. 

Thanks for visiting my pages.

Exploring West Virginia (August 19-22, 2024)

Sights this week as we visited Wheeling, Cumberland, and Chester, West Virginia. Had fantastic weather and a great time. It was almost Fall like and not a drop of rain the entire trip. 

Lots of great times. Good eats too with the visit to Curtiss Famous Weiners in Cumberland, and multiple visits to Coleman's Fish Market for the most amazing fish sandwich I have EVER had.

Fun state to visit, and had a wonderful time. Looking forward to returning in the near future,

Wandering Dayton (August 5, 2024)

Beautiful day to explore Dayton with my wife. Went a number of places, but started with the fountains at Deeds Park. Always cool seeing these  (and mist from them felt cool too on a hot summer day. 

Went to visit the Wrights and checked out the view from the cemetery in Dayton. Beautiful place. 

Threw in the KC-135 which I watched flying over our house last night. Always cool to see the planes!

Sights in Southern Indiana (July 24-28, 2024)

Was out in Rising Sun, Aurora and Lawrenceburg Indiana for a few days. One morning got this photo of the Great Blue Heron. Have taken a few over the years of these amazing birds, but this one is one of the best I have seen. Beautiful color. 

Group photo at bottom of the rabbit, art in Aurora and a couple of photos of the motorcycle. The motorcycle can be seen at a store in Aurora called "Hippie Bob's" and was built by the motorcycle designer and builder Indian Larry. Have only seen one other over the years and thought this was pretty cool. 

Always interesting sights to see in these towns along the Ohio River.

Grand Lake St. Mary's (July 19, 2024)

On an amazing Friday we took a drive to the largest lake in Ohio, and had a wonderful time. Low temperature and low humidity with a high of 80 on this July day. 

Saw some amazing sights, had a fine lunch by the water and not only enjoyed the lake views, but also a fantastic drive. Got there via highway, came back via back roads. 

It was our third visit to the area, and looking forward to the next one. 

Thanks for visiting my pages, and be sure to Vote Blue this year.
