The chance to savor, to enjoy—sometimes to say what ought to be said—is not boundless. We must live in the moment…heeding the past, considering the future, but never forgetting that one is gone and the other yet to come, while this place we call life is right now.<br /><br />Thank you, as always…Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-1584245248201937342010-10-12T13:08:06.288-04:002010-10-12T13:08:06.288-04:00Exquisite - there is no other word for it Grizz. ...Exquisite - there is no other word for it Grizz. Today I drove past the tree on our green and it had dropped its golden leaves - they shone like pennies on the grass. Two hours later, when I returned, they had all turned brown and the colour had gone.

A lot of the land is flat. But…there are some surprising hills in the southeastern corner of the state, a nice roll to the land hereabouts, and lots of neat rural areas, plus woods, prairies, meadows and fallow fields, bogs, fens, marshes, swamps, rivers big and small, creeks, brooks, rills, lakes and ponds all over. So while Ohio would never make anyone's "most scenic" list, there are natural places and views that will astonish you. And you usually don't have to drive far.<br /><br />Yes, I do pick and choose angles and subjects when photographing—but the shots I make depend less on photographic talent than willingness; if the raw material wasn't there, I couldn't get lucky and make a good photo nearly as often. It's usually not the place that's the problem and prevents us from recognizing and recording an abundance of beauty—it's our closed minds and unwillingness to see.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-59449842799783853312010-10-12T10:55:11.488-04:002010-10-12T10:55:11.488-04:00Do you live in the most beautiful part of the worl...Do you live in the most beautiful part of the world or something?

But there is some color suddenly out there…and maybe it will keep getting better for a few more days. But a lot of the trees here are dropping leaves like crazy.<br /><br />Of course it was 83 degrees here today, so didn't feel much like autumn, either.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-2785714350948623922010-10-11T21:07:57.398-04:002010-10-11T21:07:57.398-04:00I love these beautiful pictures, especially the re...I love these beautiful pictures, especially the red maple leafs.

If I see as much as you have seen on this one day, my appetite will be satisfied — and I suspect that the best is yet to come. Great shots!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.com
