wet dewey morning

It’s a foggy and damp Sunday morning in Tallmadge, Ohio. Greg and I are headed out to hike a couple of trails this morning. Horseshoe Pond in Peninsula is on our list.

school days

My delightfully wonderful partner reminded me today that it’s been some time since I updated the old blog. So here goes.

I’ve been intrigued by the demolition of one of the elementary schools in Tallmadge. It’s right off the Tallmadge Circle. As a kid, I remember seeing the tiled mural on the front as my dad took my sister and I to visit our grandparents who lived in an apartment complex right next to the school. I was always drawn to the mural. Well it doesn’t seem like that mural and school have much more time. Here are a few more photos of my visit to the demolition site. I like how the one photograph shows all the different blocks of color from several rooms of the school that are now exposed.  I wanted to get a closer look and better shot of this wall, but I didn’t suppose they wanted some guy just walking around the site. And me without my steel-toed boots.

morning photo project 8.25.2009

I pass this patch of sunflowers on my way to and from the gym. On Monday, I decided to pull over and take a few pictures of them. The bees were buzzing all around them.  I actually got a shot of the bloom above without a bee on it. But I kind of like what the bee adds to the picture.  And whoever said that we are in a reduced bee population crisis, hasn’t been spending time around this group of flowers. Also, is it weird that I enjoy taking  pictures of flowers and nature more than people?
