A friend just wondered if black swans in Ohio migrate. I had no idea, as I'm a new resident here, so I googled it. "There are no black swans in Ohio."

Really? Photo taken in Cuyahoga Falls, OHIO, last week. 🙂

Just a nice, simple photo of a couple of graylag geese, floating on the pond. But a lot of post went into this nice, simple photo to get what I wanted from it. 🙂 #birds #geese #landscape #graylag #pond

This pic was taken by a friend, and I liked it so much I processed it for her. The idea of someone making small snowmen and placing them on the railing at the Overlook pleases me. The world is not yet lost when this kind of thing happens.

Standing on the bridge above the river, and past the actual falls, I took this photo. When the season is wet, I bet those rocks are mostly covered, but now we can see their beauty.

Funny, I thought that at the end of the first season and stopped watching then. Still don't feel like I've missed anything.

I was at the overlook yesterday around noon and took this pic. Now that the leaves are gone you can really see the river. Wonderful day for a walk in the woods; no wind! The air had a bite but wasn't unduly cold.

I took this pic in 2006 on the Intracoastal. I was the nanny then, and the kids wanted to go to the beach. I approved! 🙂 We had lunch at Crabbie Bill's, then walked across the street to the beach. There's a lot to be said about FL life.

“The Constitution really is not adequate to deal with a president as evil as Trump,” Cobb (former Trump lawyer) said in an interview....
Ex-Trump Lawyer: 'The Constitution Is Not Adequate to Contain a President as Evil as Trump'
Ty Cobb warns Trump is not merely incompetent but, in his words, ‘evil,’ and driven by a desire to accumulate and abuse power.

This is the view from above the river at Brandywine Falls. I'm hanging on to fall because winter is my least favorite season. It's the only time I miss Florida. #forestFriday #landscape #scape

I took a pic of this small tree the first time it snowed on Nov 10. Today it snowed a LOT and more is coming, and I decided to get another shot of the tree. Maybe keep track of this winter through photos of this one thing. #photography #winter #scape #winterscape #landscape #tree #snow

I took this pic on Thanksgiving, 2008, on my way back from visiting my folks. Both are dead now, but this photo brings back my feelings about that day, and it certainly reflects the beauty of Mille Lacs Lake, MN. #landscape #sunset #PlateIce #MilleLacsLake #Minnesota #photography

Took this pic of an ice cream shop late at night a few years back. I was testing how well my camera did at night shots.
It did okay. :)

Took this pic in an alcove of rock off the path. It always amazes me how persistent plants can be when they want to live somewhere. These cute little ferns seemed to come out of nowhere!

This is a male Needham's skimmer. The dragonfly is sharp and clear but what I like best about this pic is the gorgeous bokeh! #dragonfly #landscape #bokeh

We start the boycott November 25 to December 2 of the companies that support the regime. Here is a list of companies that did not bend the knee to the wannabe dictator.

Captured this handsome fellow at the nearby duck pond. The yellow-gold leaves add something, right?

This is a thread-waisted wasp digger. I tend to chase insects until I get a good shot, and I love this one. I took the picture in Florida. 😊 #insects #photography #naturephotography #wasp

‪Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #silhouette. This is an osprey (I can tell by the head/shape). It was sitting on this dead tree in the fog, gazing out at the water.

This lovely place is off to one side of Brandywine Falls; the walking path goes around it and past this beautiful garden (which is on private property). What a nice place to sit and enjoy the views!

The sky was overcast and low. Very moody. I liked the sign, which changed from one letter at a time lighting up to the entire word. I had to time it so I got the entire word. 🙂 There are four reds in this pic; can you find them?

I just posted the short video of the falls. Now here's a photo of it. This is a two-pic pano. Chilly day but I was happy to be there. #WaterfallWednesday, #landscape #panorama #BrandywineFalls #Ohio

Brandywine Falls for #WaterfallWednesday. This was shot by a friend of mine on her phone a couple of weeks ago.

Leaving the comma out of this phrase changes it completely. Is it "Quiet piggy" or "Quiet, piggy!" I suspect it's the latter, since he's addressing a female, and we all know what a misogynist he is.
