The Bridge, Revisited

It is a beautiful day in Ohio, so I decided to head out for the covered bridge and bike/walking trail near me. Armed with my Ipod, camera, and cell phone, I set out mainly to take some pictures, and get a little walk in. I took pictures previously and posted, but it all looks different in the fall.

Below, a hillside off Route 45 close to the covered bridge


The trail

The "rest area", surrounded by fallen leaves. I have yet to take advantage of it since it is so close to where I get on the trail.


Another view of the trail


Not sure what kind of tree this is, but the leaves are fairly large


Some pretty leaves I spotted from the trail


A chipmunk who posed long enough for me to take two pictures. He said he wants to be a model.


A view from the trail. The creek is visible far below that the covered bridge crosses.

The Eagelton Road entrance to the Greenway Trail. I saw the funniest thing on the trail - an older couple riding some kind of 2-person bicycle, but they sat side-by-side, and both pedaled. There was a space underneath that had a box - I assume food, etc, and they had a stereo mounted on it somewhere that was playing a radio station. :-)

I met the nicest older couple at the bridge. His grandfather built the bridge. We chatted about covered bridges, trips they took, and I offered to a picture of them together in front of the bridge, and in return, she took a couple of me - should have had her use the close-up, but maybe it is a good thing I can't be seen well. :-)

The bridge, without me in front of it.

The leaf might have been from a beech tree. Might.
