Hermon Woodlands Metro Park, Johnny Appleseed Metro Parks system

5M ago
Hermon Woodlands Metro Park is the newest addition to the Johnny Appleseed Metro Parks system and the land was bequeathed by the late Carole Hermon, for whom the park is named. I love that this park has a Children’s “ImagiNature” Playscape and a Storybook Trail but my favorite thing about it is the 2 miles of hiking trails which are compacted limestone.10 feet wide. We have hiked here many times and the Fall season is my favorite. The park is filled with deciduous trees and many have great branch formations. There are a few bridges with a creek below that make for extra scenic views and the ..read more

Hiestand Woods Park and Preserve

While you frequently view color palettes in larger parks, you seldom see the small gems such as Hiestand Woods Park and Preserve which is just off Hospital Drive in Van Wert, Ohio. A few years back this Preserve went through a renovation where new paths, boardwalks, and bridges were installed to improve accessibility for all who appreciate nature. We found this Preserve is home to a vast amount of deciduous trees and the trails are well marked and offer a great display of interpretive signage. My husband likes to stop and view the Maples. The creek that runs along the east side of the pa ..read more

Kiser Lake State Park, October 2023

We love crisp clean air and fall is usually when we do the most hiking.  If you are searching for scenic foliage you may want to stop over at Kiser Lake State Park.  Kiser Lake is nearly 2.5 miles in length with over 5 miles of shoreline and offers many beautiful views. Today, we enjoyed a walk along the beach stopping to look at the pontoon boat and see some men fishing off in the distance. We took a path along the lake and photographed the Maple Trees. We then meandered into the woods looking for mushrooms before returning to the road that leads downhill to where our ve ..read more

This YouTube channel has been around for a while and I've occasionally posted a compilation of images and edited them together with some sound up until a few days ago when I captured a short video I took on my cell of an Artesian Sulfur Spring we found when hiking through the woods. I, like many nature nuts, believe chance favors the prepared mind and choose to try and capture what I feel in my photographs and videos. I will tell you my husband and one of my brothers are very like me in regard to their appreciation of nature.  My brother hiked the Appalachian trail when he w ..read more

American White Pelican
Pleasant 2 View Garden & Parks

When I  think of birds that are striking I often think of the American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos), weighing as much as 20 pounds.  They breed and nest in lakes and wetlands in the northern U.S. and we often spot them around here through November.  I admit I am compelled to sit and watch these amazingly beautiful creatures. They are a sight to behold with their vivid black and white wings spanning nine feet or more. If I am lucky, I  see them land on the water or lift their bill out of the water with whatever fish might be in it.  ..read more

  My husband and I attended the Walk with Nature Fall Festival today. We started on the Carl Chiles Walkpath by Mill Park in St. Marys, Ohio. This old towpath led us along the Miami & Erie Canal. We enjoyed the Girty’s Town Rendezvous and watched vendors cooking, blacksmithing, fur trading, and spinning wool into yarn. This nature walk was pure enjoyment! We watched a Great Blue Heron land in the canal to do some fishing and the trees were displaying leaves in vivid shades of yellow, orange, and red ..read more

Crane Creek State Park is located on the shore of Lake Erie and is a birdwatcher’s paradise.  This area of coastal environment was originally part of the Great Black Swamp and is said to be home to more than 300 species of birds in addition to turtles and fish species.  Have I mentioned before I was fortunate to find someone who enjoys watching wildlife as much as I do? At one time my husband and I used to park in the Crane Creek State Park parking lot and walk over to the beach. We found it enjoyable to watch birds diving, squawking, and soaring and s ..read more

Hiestand Woods Park and Preserve I expect most of you to know I love to do Fall walkabouts and never have shied away from leaf peeping at any park or preserve be it big or small.  As one would expect, some trees change early, while others late   We’ve begun to see vibrant palettes of red, orange, yellow, and brown around our neck of the woods. While you frequently hear and view the palettes in larger parks, you seldom see the small gems such as Hiestand Woods Park and Preserve just off Hospital Drive in Van Wert, Ohio. A few years back this Preserve went through a renovation whe ..read more
