tiny flower thursday

A little jem of a flower from our Sunday afternoon hike along the Towpath Trail. Enjoy your day, the week’s almost over. What do you do or think about to get you through the end of a long work week?

a walk in the national park

This morning, a beautiful for November kind of morning, Greg and I ventured out to the nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Our goal was to get to the Ira Road Trailhead and hike the towpath from there for a bit. Now here’s an interesting fact. The Ira Road Trailhead is not actually on Ira Road. But that’s a good thing. Because if it was, we wouldn’t have driven a bit out of our way and stumbled upon the covered bridge pictured above. After a bit more driving we found the trailhead, just a ways down from where we had originally turned off on to Ira Road. Below are a few more pictures from this morning’s hike. We’re looking forward to coming back in the spring with our bikes to do the ride from Akron to the ever-so-quaint village of Peninsula.
