These photos were taken yesterday at the Collier-Howard State Nature Preserve in Northwest Ohio. One of my favorite things in the world to do is hike in the woods. It was so peaceful and quiet - when I stood still, I could actually hear the leaves falling from the trees. Magical!
This preserve contains beech trees, oaks, sycamore, ash, tulip and cottonwoods. As you can see, there is still quite a lot of green on the trees. They're changing rapidly, day by day, however.
Mushrooms and moss on a log.
Stairs are built into some of the hillsides. I think they've done a very good job of doing it in a way as to not distract from the natural beauty of the area.
Until next time, wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Taking nature walks are one of my absolute favorite activities! Your photos are gorgeous! Oh, I think I would love to visit a place like this!
BTW, your cats are very talented animals to be part of your writing staff. How did you train them to do such wonderful tasks? I must confess that my felines are not as talented. :)
Nice Blog!

I love walking in the woods. Beatiful captures Cindy.
Oooo! My second virtual fall walk in the beauty of God's handiwork today! We've a rainy fall day here so I'm staying inside - perhaps baking this afternoon and catching up on home life before back to work tomorrow. Thanks for the lovely photos!
Joy!

Beautiful!! I love a hike in the woods the best too! Thanks for taking us with you!!
Beautiful photos, and this time of year is the best, no mosquitoes, and the colors are amazing.
How lovely! I do miss autumn, but not the cold!
Great photos, Cindy. That's what I need to do. Walk in the woods instead of sitting at my computer all day.
