Marshy area by the parking lot where the green heron was spotted.

waiting for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad train to finish boarding passengers. The train had the parking lot entrance blocked. And then when it finally moved, our car wouldn't. The battery was dead. Fortunately, there were a lot of helpful people around who offered to jump start the car.

July 9th: a stroll around Meadowedge and Sylvan Ponds in the CVNP off Everett Rd.

August 27th: a stroll to Beaver Marsh, one of my favorite hikes.
