FINALLY the sun is shining here. I was beginning to think that the next time I would see it Spring would be here. In honor of the sun and Fall foliage, here is a photo from the tree in my front yard. Enjoy! Joanne

Sunday, October 18th

Stayed up late last night, alarm rang too early and it is under 45 degrees so the camera would not work properly. Not at the races today. It is back to cloudy and yucky looking outside. Here is a photo from my trip to Virginia International Raceway. This is from one of the early laps after the start. Average speed on any given lap is over 84 mph.

What this photo does not show is the three front runners. This guy was actually in 4th place, but due to over aggressive driving, "Kent" eventually won.

To the victor goes the spoils...

Have a great Sunday. Enjoy!

Winged Beauty

One such a gloomy day, this give me joy. From the Butterfly House at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Enjoy!

Saturday, October 17, More from the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Brandywine Falls

The rocks at the bottom of the Falls are supposed to be 400 Million years old.

This is in the Cuyahoga Valley National Forest. I am so fortunate to have this beautiful place 1.5 miles from my house. Enjoy!

Took this photo, opened it in Photoshop and turned it into a watercolor.

Neat trick, may have to  make some greeting cards.

A peaceful photo for Sunday

This was actually taken during the heat of summer, deep in the woods, near a small town by me. How I love to walk in the woods with my camera. Enjoy!

So happy the early American government picked this instead of using Ben Franklin's suggestion of the turkey.

Saturday

Decided to try my hand at blogging. I think this may be a place for me to post a few photos and tell the story behind them. Who knows what this blog will turn out to really be, this could just be a place for fun shots.
