Columbus Statehouse Exterior - April 26, 2008

I was afraid Blogger couldn't
handle all of the photos I have
from my visit of to the Capitol
so I have made two groups:
one for the exterior of the building
and one for the interior.
Below is a shot of the southwest
corner of the building.
Flanking this side is a fountain.


Dwarfed by the skyscrapers,
8 Broad isn't small at all actually.



The Lincoln Leveque Tower
stands in stark contrast
to the basic rectangular and
glass fascades of its neighbors.


Below is a Civil War Memorial.


Spring has sprung in Central OH!


Bob strikes a pose.



If Superman lived in Columbus,
this would be his Daily Planet.

An Episcopal church adds
ambiance and sound to
the corner of Broad and Third.


A buckeye?


A war memorial shares letters
from home and abroad.

This is the cornerstone for
this part of the building.


It's a law office.


This lilac is in full bloom.


The Ohio is where I saw
Wicked last summer.

This is Huntington Bank.
My doctor has an office in
the basement of this building.

This is the Columbus
office of Fifth Third Bank,
the place I use for my
personal banking.
I know this building houses
the Riffe Center, but I'm
not sure if the skyscraper
has the same name.

This is a shot of the Capitol from
High Street facing eastward.

Ohio has had the largest number
of U.S. presidents come from here.
Below is a statue of William McKinley.
These statues flank President
McKinley's.


A lone boat makes its way
along the Scioto River.

Bistro Set

Last Sunday I went to the Daffodil
Show in Granville. What a disappointment!
But on my way home, I stopped
at Tuesday Morning hoping they
might have a bistro set I've been
dreaming about for a year.
They did! What do you think?

Hocking Hills with Richard - April 6, 2008

My friend Richard Bauer and I
took the first spring day to
head southeast for some hiking.
Below is the entrance to Cantwell Cliffs.








I loved finding this natural spring
coming from the rocks.













Next we made our way
to Rock House.










Our final stop was Ash Cave. It
was my favorite spot.



















Thanks, Richard, for the
invitation and the memories.
