Last night T and I took a slow, leisurely walk around our local Metro Park. We decided on the short trail that curls along the river. For some reason last night I was particularly taken by the beauty of the trees. I loved reading the plagues that described the black walnut (pictured), American sycamore, hackberry, and of course the pride of our state, the buckeye. The 70 degree weather made our spontaneous tree tour a very pleasant walk. I think my favorite was the Sycamore with their peeling bark that revealed a cool combination of greens and white. It was a nice reminder that although Hawaii and California (vacation spots this year) are gorgeous places, there is much beauty to discover in my own Midwestern state.
Highlight #2 last night was the Great Blue Heron relaxing in the river as we approached. He was a beauty and seeing those birds in flight is always breath-taking.

You are very right - we both went to beautiful vacation spots with some areas I would describe as breathtaking. BUT, Ohio has a lot of beauty for the beholding. Ryan and I are going to be checking out hiking trails in our area soon and doing some day hiking trips through our own state!
