The Blue Herons return to this same nesting area in the CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, near me, every year. They repair and inhabit old nests and raise their young. They are wonderful, almost prehistoric creatures, graceful and yet awkward.
On my MOST FAVORITE SITES (on the right) I just posted the link to a site WHERE THE HELL IS MATT which is the MOST WATCHED video on You Tube.Each time I watch it I am filled with joy and hope.Keep it around and play it when you feel doubtful or "down". Better yet, get up and do YOUR own awkward uncoordinated dance for the joy of "being alive" and able to experience this awesome roller coaster ride between the joy and angst that we call "LIFE". Go to it NOW and ENJOY!!!
THEY ARE BACK..just TODAY the Blue Herons have returned to their nests in the Cuy. Valley Nat. Park rookery on Bath Rd. in Summit County, Ohio, very near my home.
This is a hesitant attempt at expressing my feelings about snow. It was written years ago but has a timeless quality and does convey some thoughts of mine that reoccur each winter.
I am a 79 year old, white male with a Masters Degree in Education. I am the father of three children and the grandfather of four.
In 1985 after 13 years of teaching and 15 years of being Dir. of Health Ed. for the Akron Health Dept.,I retired to form an international speaking/workshop business which took me all over the world. Along the way I started to express my artistic self through photography, collage, and painting.
