Today we paid a visit to the The F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm in Akron, Ohio. It was a fine, cool, beautiful day for a walk in the gardens and natural areas of the park. The last time we visited there was in October 2008. The nature center itself has undergone major improvements since then including installation of solar power panels on several rooftops, LED lighting, new pavement, and pavilion areas. We enjoyed walking through the woods and photographing various natural subjects and captured many splendid views of everything from mushrooms and flowers to vines and butterflies. Only two images are included here but I’ll be working on other images and posting them to a photo gallery — maybe add one or two to my 2011 photo calendar. It’s late now (actually after midnight) so I’ll post and go to bed. I like these low-key, slow-paced days.
