Old Man's Cave, April 28, 2010

Old Man's Cave is a wonderful hike. It can be pretty strenuous, especially if hiked from the upper to the lower falls. We were feeling leisurely, so we did the gorge walk from the upper falls to the cave. The place is amazingly beautiful - these are a few of my favorite shots from the hike.

Ash Cave and Cedar Falls, April 27, 2010

Ash Cave and Cedar Falls are part of Hocking Hills State Park. An amazingly beautiful area, and a wonderful place for nature photography.

Lake Logan, April 27. 2010

Lake Logan, April 27, 2010: The weather cleared up, and the sun peeked out from behind the clouds. We stopped at Lake Logan on the way back from a very late breakfast and found swans, swallows, a nesting Canada goose, lots of Great Blue Herons and one beautiful egret. And I learned the hard way, one again, to check my settings before overexposing a bunch of photos...

Monday, April 26, 2010: Lancaster, Ohio

We've been really lucky with the weather the last few years at Hocking Hills. But it's Ohio, so planning for rain is pretty much mandatory. The rain plan was Lancaster. We had no idea what to expect, and downtown Lancaster was a pleasant surprise. The county buildings are very cool, and the old houses are just amazing. The preservationists have done a wonderful job.
