My sister called and wanted an Adventure today. She picked me up and we headed south. Got to Waverly and stopped at Wal-Mart. Did a little shopping and got some great buys and didn't have to get up early or wait in line.
From there we decided to head to Shawnee State Park. We saw an Eagle soaring over and several hawks, the day was beautiful...Had lunch at the Lodge and it was decorated with dozens of trees. This is my sister by the fireplace in the lobby.
Lunch was delicious... we walked around and looked at all the decorations and Christmas music was playing...just the thing to get me in the mood...
This nativity scene was beautiful and then there was the tree made of things from nature with a Noah's arc beside it.
It had wasp nests and just about everything you could find outside. A beautiful tree.
We decided to follow the Scenic Scioto Heritage Trail and found this Mansion...
This old building looks like it is ready to fall down...but notice the satellite dish in the window upper right.....
Then winding thru the countryside ...we came upon this creek...
The hillside had unusual stone formations and as we got closer.....
It looks like someone created these pointed stones in the side of this hill...was amazing
Saw a lot of cows and some horses...
Other things we found along the drive...
Pears still in the tree..... and a large hornets nest.....
A drive thru the country isn't complete without a beautiful old barn...,
An then just when I thought I wasn't going to get a picture of a bird.....
He was there for just a moment and flew off. I think he is a Rough-legged Hawk. I am sorry the picture isn't clearer but only had moments to take this ....
Then on the way home along 104......
There were hundreds of Starlings in this field....
And of course when we stopped to get pictures...they flew away.....
And were gone! Was an amazing site...sorry the picture isn't the best please forgive me for that. We ended the day with a pumpkin blizzard from Dairy Queen....Was a good Black Friday!
We decided to follow the Scenic Scioto Heritage Trail and found this Mansion...
