Rob Tate and I completed an
autumnal tour of Northeastern
Ohio on the 13th of this month.
We started our trip in Mansfield,
traveling northwest to Elyria.
Our goal was the noted town waterfall.
As you can see, we missed fall
by a couple of weeks...although
the weather was quite chilly the
day of our journey.
Bingo! The West Branch of
the Black River Falls!
This red squirrel is a full
25% to 50% larger than
the grey squirrels I'm
familiar with.
A view from afar...
It's as if the river dries
up to nothing a tiny
distance downstream.
On to the Cuyahoga Valley
National Park and
Peninsula, OH...
A few shots of the
tiny and curvy
Cuyahoga River...
Rob among the pumpkins
and ghosts...
From Peninsula, we drove to
the outskirts of Akron...to a little
town called Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
There, between the interstate and
the Sheraton Hotel, was another
stretch of the Cuyahoga River.
Rob looks out over the balcony.
(Below a couple have just
gotten married.)

action video.
This beautiful part of the town
sits on the banks of the river.
Scenes from the other
side of the hotel...
I love this shot of the
interstate sitting on top of
the banks of the river.
A little farther upstream...
Amphitheater on the
banks of the river...
Back to the national park...
Can you find the
woodland creatures?
This is my favorite spot all day--
Brandywine Falls!
The falls can be seen

The falls can be seen
through the trees.
Okay, I'm not a videographer.
(Use your imagination!)
Watch the two leaves
"meet their doom."
The creek seems so calm
before the plunge.
A couple of views from
the other side...
This is the Inn at Brandywine

Creek, a bed and breakfast.
FINALLY! SOME FALL COLOR!
Rob likes the above the shot,
Our last stop was
FINALLY! SOME FALL COLOR!
From Brandywine, we
discovered Bridal Veil Falls.
Rob likes the above the shot,
which is the actual lighting.
I like the one below
that shows the falls
with the night vision option
on my camera in use.
Our last stop was
Chagrin Falls, OH.
Ah...the falls!
One last photo...
A fooling of the eye...
another night vision shot.
