Cincinnati, Ohio

There are times we are blessed and this was one of those days!! Not only did we have the day to sightsee but the weather was picture perfect and we took advantage of the nice day to see what we could... began at Fountain Square downtown. There were numerous displays of how people have taken trash to make "art" out of it and this display was made with pieces of old doors.  Then down to their beautiful waterfront park - oh my goodness that place is so pretty with spring in her new dress!  Walked up on the suspension bridge over the Ohio River and watched many walking back and forth over the river.  All sorts of folks out enjoying the day and then on up to Mount Adams with lovely view of the city and river.  This town reminded us of Seattle with their football stadium right next to  their baseball stadium and US Bank arena next to that---- guess all these stadiums sitting empty most of the year is not an issue?  Seems a bit crazy but guess that is the new way nowadays.. anyway, it was fun and we enjoyed it very much! Off tomorrow again..

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
