Day 169, Cattails

After breaking my elbow and now dealing with a truly annoying bout of the flu I've been neglecting my photo-a-day duties (this photo was actually taken on June 4th). I've decided to not be all that concerned about this setback. While I will continue to try to create a new photograph everyday on the days that I cannot I will post a recent photo instead.

Day 167, Little League

♫ Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;♫
♫Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back.♫
♫Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win, it's a shame.♫
♫For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.♫

Day 165, Bullfrog

Here is another blast from the past photo. I took this photo on June 4th when I went to the Carlisle Reservation Duck Pond.

Day 155, Duck

I really wanted to take a photo of a delicious ice cream sundae today but when the girl handed me the ugliest ice cream sundae I have ever seen I changed my mind. So my ever lovable husband drove me to the Carlisle Reservation Duck Pond. There was exactly one duck but he put on a nice show. :)

Day 140, Brandywine Falls

 Brandywine Falls in Northfield, Ohio 

 I decided to visit the falls today on a whim. The problem with whims is they don't care if I have a tripod in the car or not. Stupid whims.I live moderately far from the falls but hopefully I'll be able to go back with a tripod someday.

 More for the alphabet series. Actually, I really don't like the Letter A from before now that I've had a couple days to look at it :( So I'm just going to start over. :)

Day 130, Ambition

 

“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.” ~ Salvador Dalí 

I see a theme developing. Wonder if I'll find an appropriate photo/quote combo for tomorrow.

Day 127, Muddy River

Olmsted Falls Park before the rain came.

Day 124, Dandelions & Blue Skies

Finally able to go outside! I snapped these at the Margaret Peak Nature Preserve in Eaton Township. I had never been there before but I will certainly go there again, hopefully next time I'll be able to find the trails. :/

Day 16, Hand-Feed a Chickadee

Today we went to hand-feed chickadees at the Brecksville Nature Center. It was cute. If you would like to hand-feed chickadees yourself, be at the nature center between 10am to noon on a Saturday or Sunday until February 28th. Then you can hand-feed chickadees! It's fun to say hand-feed chickadees. ☺

Day 16 Bonus Pic!

Because it takes more than 30 seconds to hand-feed a chickadee☺ Jeremy gave up almost instantly and made, and fed, his own snow-chickadee.

Day 5, Ducks

Ducks of a feather brave the cold together.

Taken in Cascade Park in Elyria, Ohio.
