Back from Connecticut!

John and I had a great time in Connecticut this past weekend where John got to go on his first Lantern Tour at Mystic Seaport. We also got to eat LOTS of good food, and introduce John to Jok-R-Ummy, which he's already wishing we had. Really, the only downside of the entire trip was being delayed a couple hours on our flight home because of the weather.

But we made it home safely, and I'm thankful for that.

I'm pretty far behind in editing/posting images, so I don't have any of the CT ones up yet, but I can show you some photos from two photowalks I did before we left (I can't believe I only have TWO left to do!)

Photowalk 48 took me back to downtown Akron. It started raining, so I had to pack up and go home sooner than I would have liked, but I managed to still get a few photos I was happy with. My favorite is seen below, but you can see the whole slideshow here:


I don't know what this building was originally used for, but it doesn't look like it's doing much these days.

Photowalk 49 was supposed to be around this lake in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. But I got there, and it was closed, so I drove on to the next stop on that road, which is the Ledges area. I'd been there a number of times before, so I wasn't quite as excited about it, but I did still get a few good photos. It's really hard to pick just one favorite, but if I must, it's the one you see below. The entire slideshow can be seen here:



Here's a few other misc. pictures that aren't part of photowalks, but I still thought were worth sharing:


Some branches in my backyard.


Chillin' in John's car (I love those boots, btw)

YOSHI! With christmas lights in the background. Drapped over the living room chairs since I didn't put up a tree this year.


Maiacat. Same Christmas lights (which are actually white lights. I could go into the technical details as to why they look purple, but I'm too lazy)
