The rock in the center of the river is called Steamboat Rock. I think it looks more like a giant Spanish galleon. This is one of my favorite parts about hiking in the gorge in Clifton, OH. Our area of Ohio is generally pretty flat. However, when you hike down into the gorge, you feel like you are following a river in a valley between two mountain ridges.
I've mentioned them before. The simple truth is that I love sycamore trees. When the leaves fall and their white trunks are exposed to the dark overcast days they are at their best.
I spent some time in the woods this past weekend so that I could find some good specimens for you. What is your favorite tree?
As I walked through the gorge Sunday afternoon and admired the trees and the river, I looked at the overlapping branches I thought about nerve paths and nerve endings. Strange, I know.
Don't know Copernicus? He was the first to theorize that the planets revolved around the sun. Heady stuff for 1543.
Angels mystify me. I often see them in stature form at churches and in art museums. Often, they are shown as female but all of the angels named in the bible are male. Well… boy or girl?
On a photographic note, I've come to see that museums are the masters of good lighting. I like to visit them regularly and the lighting is always fantastic. Want to study lighting? YOu could learn a lot at the local art museum.
Sarah is the resident farm cat. In a chilly fall day, she was able to find a sunny spot out of the wind. What to do? Take a nap of course.
A week or so back, I brought you a photo of the blue hole and mentioned the painting was hanging in the Cincinati Art Museum. The following weekend, a friend of mine and I visited the museum and low and behold, there was The Blue Hole.
On a recent visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum, we discovered this group of mannequins huddled in a room. I imagine that they were being prepared for an exhibit.
Finding them was a photo opportunity that we couldn’t pass up. As much as we enjoyed the museum, these mannequins turned out to be my favorite subject of the day.
Claudine, are you going to switch over to Google+?
Oh, I don’t know. All of my friends are here and I like playing silly games about being a farmer.
You don’t! All of those Farmville requests drive me nuts. I’ve had it with Facebook. How many times do they have to mess with our security settings before they get it right? Besides, Google+ has some really cool features like Picassa, circles, and sparks.
Mia, none of our friends are there. We would be all alone. I would have to make new friends all over again.
Claudine, would that be such a bad thing? I’ve seen some of your friends. To be honest, making some new friends might not be such a bad thing for you. How many videos of talking cats do you need in one day?
I hope you are not tired of frosted eaves because I have another one for you today. After this image, I will lay off the ftrost theme for a wile, I promise.
