Choppers Over the Park

We may spend more time than any other, non-employees in the park. Just can’t stay away. This time of the year we visit the park four or five days a week. You never know what you might see next in the park.  Not sure but believe these to be CH-47 Chinook’s.
These Photos were taken as we were standing on the Castle observation area waiting for the sunset.
I also stuck around to get a few, as night falls over the park, photos.

Sunsets, Trains and Funny Stuff

Turned around and took this - what a great park for photos.
While taking train photos I caught a great park sunset.



Larry the Cable Guy might say, "now that right there is funny."

Wonder if someone said - "dang these campers are hard to back up." Apologies to the workers who have to fix it, but it’s still funny

Now my coal train photos - the reason I was out with my camera. That's a bit of a lie, I never leave home without one of my cameras.

Things in the Park - September

I have blogged a few - Things I saw in the park, here is my latest.
The Vultures circled above but on I went anyway.
Things in the park from Sunday evening September, 7, 2014.
Watched a nice bunch of Turkey's
Those big ol' campers must be tough to back up!
Another Great Sunset
I Turned Around From Taking the Sunset and Snapped This One- Cool!

Oh by the Way - Fall is in the air

Have a great week.

Like No Place On Earth

A few, and only a few, of the reasons I think Guernsey State Park is like no other place.

Sunsets


Reflections

Clouds

The Narrows  (I added a bit of artistic help here)

And maybe (with a touch of tongue in cheek) a little wildlife
Here's looking at you - have a great weekend

Of Flowers, Fall and Sunsets

Summer might be winding down and the kids may be back in school but there is still some nice flowers in the park.
 
But how far away can fall be with some shrubs already deciding to change from summer green to fall reds and oranges?
 
Is there ever a bad sunset in the Park?

New Park Sign

New signs will go up on each side of the park. The one on the north entrance, is nearly complete. They haven't started the south one yet, but it will not be long.

These signs will not replace the tradition welcome signs but instead are interpretative signs about the park, the building of the park by the CCC and helpful tips for first time visitors.

Family Out for a Day In the Park


Guernsey State Park is a great place to spend time with the family. I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of this mom and her little twins in the park Tuesday evening.
Mom & the twins out for a hike

and while hiking make sure to stay hydrated

Grab a bite to eat when you get a chance

and if that guy keeps taking photos see if you can hide
 
 
Reflecting on the above post, how about this reflective sunset over the lake?
