I like the idea of blogging about Cleveland, but in practice I have very little to say in blog format. I do take a lot of photos, though, so I think I’ll start sharing those instead.
Here are some of my favorite photos I’ve taken over the years hiking through different parts of the Metroparks.

I hope to keep posting as I take more photos, and start doing some urban photography as well. With all this snow, I have a date with the Rocky River…
I have this dinky little digital camera whose rebate was more than half the camera’s cost. I got it so I’d have something small that I wouldn’t feel too terrified of losing while flailing around drunk at weddings. Turns out it can do kind of impressive things. Witness my twilight walk across the Lorain-Carnegie bridge, sans tripod:

So go spooky little surprisingly talented camera!
