Mark deliberately cultivates plants in his Bedford, Texas backyard to attract butterflies and bees and regularly ventures out to capture images of the little critters. He’s been honing his skills for more than a decade. We always enjoy visiting his Flickr Album for great examples of macro photography. Karen joined him this afternoon with the long lens on the Sony A5100. And this evening the two of them were out on the patio with phones trying to capture a lightning strike image!
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
