The Days of Their Youth - 22 June 2016
Keeping track of the nesting red-winged blackbirds
at the state park has been a simple pleasure this spring.
Now summer is here and the youth are out;
spreading their wings in the early morning.
Learning to be watchful.
Things Are Looking Up - 21 June 2016
The River Birch Tree atMuldoon
The river birch tree often is used for landscaping due to its graceful drooping limbs and attractive color.
When he once spotted it on a tour of the United States,
Prince Maximilian of Austria called it the most beautiful of trees.

A Touch of Blue 20 June 2016
Thrifty Finds With A Touch of Blue this week
This is the color palette, taupe, blue and white,
for a bedroom I'm sprucing up.
This photo was taken at an angle to cut down on glare and reflection.
It's not hanging that crooked :/

Week End Reflection Partially Unexpected - 18 June 2016
After reading a few tutorials on creating reflection photos
naturally I sought out my favorite critter, Lucy.
Here she is looking out with what she sees
reflected in the window.
On the other hand, I was not expecting this 'critter'
when capturing the reflection in our garden pond bubbles.

It was a good photo week. Hard to choose.
The diagonal ray of sunlight won the day.

Sigh, not dress-up again.

Outstanding or Standing Out? 16 June 2016
Not an outstanding fence but it appeared
over the edge of the rolling terrain in the distance
and stayed in view as we wound around an 'S' curve.
On the other hand, it does stand out
in the midst of all the green.

Watching for red-winged black birds

- nice
Who Knew . . . 15 Jun 2016
it could be so easy.
All it took was a little
raspberry jam
and a little after dinner drink
The Davis Hollow Cabin 14 June 2016
Davis Hollow Cabin
The Davis Hollow Cabin is one of two historic facilities along the North Country Trail. Volunteers manage and maintain the cabin, devoting their time and energy in order to preserve the cabin’s history for future generations to enjoy.
Construction began on the cabin before the start of the American Revolution. The hand-hewn logs and hand-carved stone are superb examples of pioneer construction. Located behind the Davis Hollow Marina at present-day Moraine State Park, the cabin served as a summer home for Mrs. Katherine Davis and her sister, Miss Eleanor Holt, before the park’s development. Today, the North Country Trail Association (NCTA) leases the cabin from the park.
Sharing a local treasure from all sides and angles.
Always in love with stone chimneys
Got a good look at the hand hewn Logs as we climbed to the back.
And found an inviting back porch
Shuttered windows - winters can be harsh in the hollow.
And unique shutter hooks
We will be going back someday with a picnic basket in hand

A Love of Tapestry June 13 2016
...and a touch of Blue
'BIG' Friday Flea Market
at Rogers, Ohio
and I was pleased to add to my collection of
tapestry bags and boxes
I spied this vintage clutch bag
and then it was mine.
The perfect size for a curling iron, combs and brushes to tuck inside one of my carry-ons.
And when not travelling it will rest here
to remind me of my grandmother
who also loved tapestry.
