Day 202
All caught up now! Does anybody know of a good book on B&W photography I could get? Whatever I'm doing, I don't think I'm doing it right...
Anyway, here's some "Heat lightning" or an "Electrical Storm" from 1am this morning. What you call it, depends on where you're from. If you're from where the light is coming from, you'll probably call it a thunderstorm.
There's a bonus UFO in the upper left corner if you look closely. ::what::

I think I might go back to Oak Openings tomorrow. Seems I missed the sand dunes by a hair. If a hair was a half mile or so.
The first day I took the blue trail on the left, turned right on the brown trail, then right on the dotted brown trail to the orange back to the motorcycle.
The second day, I took the blue trail on the right, up to the purple trail, down the yellow trail, then down that road to the orange trail and back.
I missed both sand dunes! HA!
I have looked at photos of these "sand dunes" and they look more like beaches without water than actual dunes...

Day 203
Back to Oak Openings Preserve. Trail map in hand!
The very first thing you do is;
Just Keep Walkin'
Just Keep Walkin'
Just Keep Walkin'
If a tree falls in the forest, and there’s nobody around to hear, does it make a sound?
Well... That depends.
If by sound we mean compressions and rarefactions in the air which result from the physical disturbances caused by the falling tree and which propagate through the air with audio frequencies, then we might not hesitate to answer yes.
However, sound is a human experience, the result of physical signals delivered by human sense organs which are synthesized in the mind as a form of perception. For what we perceive as the sound of a tree falling, may not be what, say, a squirrel perceives.
This brings up another question; Can something exist without it being perceived?
Mr. Einstein once asked whether the moon exists if nobody is looking at it. However hard he tried, he would never be able to prove that it does exist if no one looked at it.
An infallible conjecture, yes, but did this tree make a sound when it fell?
I don't know, I wasn't there.
Oak Openings Preserve is on The Nature Conservancy's list of The Last Great Places in The United States. Right there along with the Florida Everglades. We're in good company.
Home to more endangered native plant species than any other place in Ohio.
Prickly Pear Cactus and Sand Cherries grow just a few feet from Orchids. It's a contrast in nature that's almost unbelievable.
An Earth Star Mushroom grows in the Oak Openings Sand Dunes. Described as too tough to be edible in America, but they're eaten all the time in Asia.
Found this raspberry plant in the sand giving it all it's got!

Thanks! I was hoping for something much clearer, but out of the ones I took, this was definitely the best one.

Found it!
Somewhere between 7/5 and 7/7 I inserted an extra picture.
Guess putting more pictures in is better than missing a day.
I'm also sure it's no coincidence that these days coincide with having that cute little baby here for the weekend. Trust me, she wasn't that cute all weekend. We haven't had a baby in our house for years! Well, at least babies we had to take care of. I forgot how much sleep/mind you lose with a baby!
