Mud Valley Memories

Autumn Sky

This is the same spot without the marigolds. I like the clouds in the sky and the shadow of the hill behind us on the ground. I caught the sun shining directly on the farmhouse.

Marigolds

Marigolds

One morning in late fall I crossed the road from our farmhouse to take a picture of these marigolds. The frost had just melted on them. I liked how they looked in the crisp morning air.

Little Pebbles

One little, two little,
Three little pebbles.
Four little, five little,
Six little pebbles.
Seven little, eight little,
Nine little pebbles,
Ten pebbles rolling in the stream.
Lying on the beach.
Hiding underground.
Warming in the sun.

We saw a lot of these little yellow flowers just starting to bloom. I'm not sure what they are.

Rocks And Trees

Around Ohio

Rocks And Trees

These rocks make an interesting profile hidden behind the grass. The picture goes in steps from the foreground to the tops of the trees.

Peninsula

Peninsula

I like how this peninsula juts out into the water. These lakes used to be gravel quarries. It would have been fun to see the dump trucks hauling the gravel out.

Grass And Tree

We're still at Prairie Oaks. I like the definition on this wild grass.

I also enjoy walking at Prairie Oaks Metro Park. It has several interesting bridges. I like the shape of this one.

Looking Through Trees

This is the end of the trail for Slate Run Metro Park, at least for this visit. Come back any time you need some fresh air.

Five-Pointed Leaf

Around Ohio

Five-Pointed Leaf

I thought this was an interesting leaf. I'm not sure if it's a Buckeye, Sweet Gum, Maple, or Sycamore. Does anyone else know?
