{Day 4} 31 Days of Autumn in Ohio – Crabapples

Finally made it back to Alderfer-Chatfield Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a place that inspires and restores me. This is the first time shooting pictures in autumn. There is still a lot of green, just like most places in Northeast Ohio. I love the red crabapples and green leaves against the blue sky, accented by the brown branches. The entrance to the Oenslager Nature Center is where these trees are located. The wildlife sanctuary is part of the Medina County Park System

There will be more sanctuary photos for at least the next week.

{Day 3} 31 Days of Autumn in Ohio – Woods

Hopefully, the woods behind my house will have more color next week. The nearly naked trees are black walnut, which the squirrels have stripped.

{Day 2} Autumn in Ohio – Sunroof Photography

Today’s photo is a little glimpse of autumn taken through my sunroof. Every now and then, I look up and find interesting scenes. Don’t worry, I am parked when pictures are shot.
