Rocky River Reservation – Cleveland Metroparks

It’s been super busy the last few weeks, but for one day we decided to take a break from it all and  visit the Rocky River Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. It’s a lovely and very active park, with plenty of people walking, running, biking, hiking, golfing, boating, and fishing. I’ve visited most (if not all) of the parks in both the Cleveland and Lake Metropark systems and I think Rocky River Reservation is one of the finest of the group, with many sights to see and plenty of things to do. Here are a few photos of the river views, plus one photo of  a distant downtown Cleveland's Key Tower peeking over the treetops.

Mammatus Clouds Signal Severe Weather

Many severe storms (along with reported funnel clouds) moved through northern Ohio yesterday afternoon. We were on the northern edge of the first wave of storms with tornado warnings just south. Mammatus clouds, which are indicative of the violent weather, formed on the northern edge of the storm as it passed overhead. Here is a photo.
