Pastoral Skies in Ohio Amish Country

Nice day for a country drive around Holmes and Tuscarawas Counties in Ohio Amish country. Didn’t care too much for the areas in the towns that were obviously aimed at tourists, But loved driving the back country

Great Blue Heron in Flight

Always a pleasure when I run across one of these magnificent birds! Captured on the wetland trail at the Dawes Arboretum

So Shy!

Kinda like the way the eye can still be seen behind the wing.

May Be Tiny… But Also Strong!

Hummingbirds are such wonderful creatures. Exceptionally athletic, beautiful to behold.  

On The Wings of Angels…

Summer Friend ~ Little Goldie

I’ll miss these little guys

Summer Friend ~ Old Blue Eyes, Damselfly

The dragon and damsel flies are always there for me along the trail and along the ponds during the summer. When all else fails and I can’t seem to make contact with other creatures, these guys are always dependable entertainment. But as summer comes to a close, they won’t be around for too much longer. Love these blue dancers!

Enjoying My Summer Visitor!

Loved this beautiful specimen. They are here far too short! 

Shine On Brightly

Gloria!

Absolutely beautiful morning today in Hocking Hills at Ash Cave, where the sun’s rays were wonderfully streaming into the recess cave
