The Blue Angels Show Off For Navy Week & Cleveland Air Show

It was a picture perfect weather day in downtown Cleveland. With Navy Week going on and the Cleveland Air Show starting up this weekend, the Navy’s Blue Angels were out practicing, giving those visiting the Navy ships at the Port of Cleveland a nice show. Here is a short video I took of the Blue Angels as they buzzed the shores of Lake Erie. The video really does not do the audio justice – those jets were near deafening!

Thunderhead Rising

Thunderstorms moved in to Lake County Ohio this afternoon. I found myself momentarily between storm cells which allowed me to grab this photo of a thunderhead forming to the northwest, likely right off the lake shore. (Click on the photo for the full size.)

Lake Erie Bluffs – Lake Metroparks

Located in the eastern end of Lake County in Perry Township Ohio is the new Lake Erie Bluffs park, another fine park in the Lake Metroparks system. It is almost 140 acres in total, roughly 20 acres  located right on the lakefront with a pristine, undisturbed beach. This will be a great area for bird watching during migrations. Here are a few photos I took while visiting there this past Saturday.(Click on any image to open larger size in photo viewer.)

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Black)

While out and about yesterday, I took this photo of what I believe is a female black Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly that was enjoying a nearby butterfly bush.
