Wild Geranium

Wild Geranium
This is for my friends who patiently grind through the mushrooms and bug pictures.  Maybe this will be a little more to your liking.

Wild Geranium
I have been trying to do this again but to no avail.  The wind has been too high lately.

Water Strider

Water Strider
We have many of these this year at Gorman.  I have seen many on the stream, too.  I never cease to be amazed at their uncanny ability to walk and even run on water.  They have numerous aka's:  water striders, water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters, skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skeeters, water skimmers, water skippers, water spiders, or Jesus bugs.  You see how the surface elasticity of the water supports their weight in this shot.

I was doubtful about this being an insect when I started to write this.  I looked in up on Wikipedia and found that, indeed, they are.

Canal Fulton

Sisters Century House Restaurant
I arose the other morning feeling the need to be distracted.  I happened to note the Rust and Found was open that weekend.  We decided to go.  They are only open once a month as I understand.  It is an extremely popular place.  They a had people lined up all around the shop waiting to make purchases.

While Carol scouted around in the store, I scouted out the town, Canal Fulton.  The above restaurant is right next door and they had a public restroom.  After using same, I walked all the way in to see what the place was like.  We ended up having lunch there.  It was fun!

There is a park from which I made the above image which is bounded, on one side by the Tuscaroras River and on the other side by a section of the Ohio and Erie Canal.  The park also boasted a visitor's center and canal packet boat, neither open this early.

Canal Packet Boat
I think the place would be worth day's excursion later in the season when things are open.  I think you might also enjoy a visit to the Sisters Century House Restaurant.
