What bird is this? 2011-05-14 My "Birds of Ohio" book doesn't include it. Many thanks for the comments during the last couple days. I'm underway again, driving driving driving to catch my flight back home.
Surprising Cleveland 2011-05-13 One last Cleveland shot. The "Terminal Tower" in central Cleveland has a beautiful art deco shopping mall and wonderful architecture inside. I remember being taken to see Santa by my grandfather as a small child (but don't remember the architecture)
First Lock? 2011-05-12 This is one of the abandoned locks in the 'side cut canal' that connected the Erie Canal with the Maumee River between 1842 and 1850 (slightly reconstructed of course). As a child I went to summer day camps in the park here. Now I am an enthusiastic narrowboater along the English canals. Is there a connection? Perhaps.
