Stillwater Prairie Reserve, Stillwater River
Sometimes the stress levels get high, and you feel you need a break. That happens to me sometimes. This is how I like to let the stress go .. a long walk with Mother Nature.
The Web ...
Shot at Kiser Lake State Park
This is a serious web. I didn’t stick around to see the spider, but I have only seen a few as dense as this one.
I am always amazed the the design of spider webs. This one is so dense you can’t pick up a design or pattern, but it looks effective. 🕷

The official end of summer?
Labor Day has come and gone. I frequently hear people talk about this holiday as the end of summer. The reality is that schools are back in session, and evenings and nights bring with them a cool chill. The sunset comes earlier each night, as daylight shortens. Soon the trees will dress in the colors of fall, and the leaves will begin to cover the landscape.
If you like to capture photos of amazing sunsets, this is your time of year! The sun is starting to move lower on the horizon, and the magic hour will provide an amazing golden cast. The fall is accompanied with vivid colors - nature’s backdrop for photographers.
Over the years, some of my best photos have come between Labor Day and when the leaves have fallen. I guess what I am saying is this: get out there and take some photos! Nature is waiting to share it’s beauty with you and your camera!
These photos were taken at sunrise at Kiser Lake State Park. It was a beautiful morning .. so peaceful and calm. Have a great fall.
Morning on the Lake
On Labor Day, Teresa and I took a few photos at sunrise at Kiser Lake, near St Paris, Ohio. This was shot just before sunrise, so you get a lot of interesting colors. That is a Blue Heron in the foreground. I saw two of them, but didn’t get many good pictures of them.
Bee at work .. 🐝
Bee @ work .. Charleston Falls Preserve
Teresa and I took a long walk yesterday through Charleston Falls Perserve. We were sad that the falls were basically dry, but we decided to walk anyway. Near Cedar Pond (as they call it), we came across a large number of bees that were busy at work. Yes, it was just weeds ... but the bees didn’t care. They were harvesting. We had a great walk, and enjoyed what Mother Nature shared with us.
