This is my 8th and FINAL post from our trip to Ohio from October 15-18, 2012 with great friends
NEAL and Patti Treadway. In order to see any of the other posts from this trip (mostly from Hocking Hills State Park near Logan, Ohio), please click
HERE.
This post will include our trip to Lake Logan on Oct. 17 (after we left Hocking Hills) and then it will also include our trip from Ohio back to Tennessee on Oct. 18th. Hope you enjoy the photos. Be sure to click on them to see enlargements.
The picture above shows the Mute Swans at Lake Logan. We talked to a man who lives near there, and he told us that these Mute Swans have been at that lake for several years. Aren't they pretty?
Here's a collage of the Swans and Ducks. We sat on the bank and watched them for a long time.
Here is a photo of the beautiful lake and the Fall Colors all around us.
Ohio had the most beautiful Fall Colors last year of most anywhere we went. We just happened to be there during the perfect week... Aren't these gorgeous photos?
Here is another photo showing the swans and some of the ducks...
Here is a collage showing the ducks along the bank of the lake. There were quite a few of them--trying to find some shade where they could rest.
The next morning, the Treadways headed back to their home in Indiana and we headed toward Tennessee. We took the 'backroads' home ---and when we do that, we always find something interesting to see!!!! Above is a photo showing one of the roads we traveled on... Do you enjoy traveling the backroads like we do?
Guess what we found along the backroads????? A COVERED BRIDGE!!!!! This is the Cox Covered Bridge (built in 1884). This beauty is in Vinton County, Ohio. Do you enjoy seeing covered bridges? When I spotted this little bridge, we immediately turned around so that we could get some photos.
All along the way, we enjoyed the views all around us. I'm not sure what river this was but it might be the Little Raccoon River... Pretty though, isn't it?
After we got into Tennessee, the GPS took us through the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area on a gravel road. The Fall Colors along that route were AWESOME.
Here's a photo showing some of the beautiful Fall colors all around us. Guess this proves that the Fall Colors in TENNESSEE (where we were now) were just as pretty as those in Ohio... We had a gorgeous drive home that day!
Finally, here's another collage showing more of the Autumn Colors as we headed home that day. All in all, we had a marvelous trip. Just being with good friends made it even more special. I hope we have more trips with Neal and Patti... The four of us enjoy being together and we have so much in common.
Today is a special day for George and me. We had our first date in 2001.... Think we'll celebrate today!!!! YEAH!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Easter! If you missed my Photo Blog post this past Wednesday, be sure and click
