More Nature

Hey guys, I've been to another metropark in our area a couple times over the past few weeks.  This one is called Oak Openings and it's huge.  I would say it's probably the prettiest park in Toledo and you should definitely visit it if you have the chance. Here are a few pictures from my visits.

I was trying to get a picture of wild turkeys, but they ran away!  :[

Still trying to photograph the turkeys!

Pretty sunset

Small meadow Tom and I stumbled upon

This summer I've really been trying to take advantage of more of the things my area has to offer.  I'm sure I still have much to discover though!

Have a great day!

Here are some "nature" photos from my area.  In Ohio we have unpredictable weather and a drastic change between seasons.  Sometimes I wish I lived in another state where it's 70 degrees and sunny year round, but I have to admit that Ohio can be quite pretty.  These are just a few shots from last year that I figured I would share with you.

This was taken at Side Cut Metropark a few days after a storm.  The flooding had gone down quite a bit, but there were still little "pools" hanging around like these.  

Waves on Lake Erie.  This picture is deceptive, those waves were actually kind of high.  I remember this was a rather gloomy day.

This was taken on the UT campus while I was walking back to the car.  This past winter was SO cold, the trek to and from classes was horrible.  I had a red nose for months, but at least the snow and ice were pretty.

I hope you enjoyed this little peak into my area.  Do you enjoy the weather where you live?  Or are you dying to leave?
