Well, I hope you like them. Throughout the rest of the day I plan to edit the rest of the photos I have backlogged and then get up to date. Enjoy!

Dawes Arboretum: Set 3
Yesterday I went to the Columbus Art Fest. I have some shots of Downtown Columbus that I would like to edit and post. But, I have 3 other sets of photos to edit too. So, I told myself that I would not edit this most recent set of photos and post them until the other photos were done. Thus, here we are. This is my last set of photos from Dawes that I took 2 weeks ago went I went with the Hike Ohio group. There are some good pictures and I'm ashamed that I've sat on them for so long. Lazy bones.
Well, I hope you like them. Throughout the rest of the day I plan to edit the rest of the photos I have backlogged and then get up to date. Enjoy!

Dawes Arboretum: Set 2
Today was very much a Monday. I over slept and didn't wake up until 8:15 am. That is when I'm supposed to leave for work. So, no shower, just up, dress and run out the door. Thank goodness there were no state troopers on the road. I was only about 8 minutes late.
Then about half way to the office I realized I didn't have my wallet. No big deal really. Except, I hadn't eaten and now I had no way to get anything for lunch. Hmmm.... So, on my lunch break I drove home to get my wallet. I found it, then headed back to town hoping to have just enough time to get something quick before I needed to be back. I opened up said wallet part way back into town only to see, no debit card. WHAT?!!! Now, the entire purpose of my trip was shot. But, I did have my id and check book, so off to the grocery store (really quick) to get some food BY WRITING A CHECK. I haven't done that in ages.
Then there was work. Crazy sauce. So busy I can hardly recount. And at the end of the day as I'm getting ready to wrap things up, one of my staff calls to ask if I can swing by her room before I leave. She needs to talk to me about a couple of the kids. Okay, fine. I want to just leave, but I SUPPOSE that's my job. ;) So, when I get there she tells me these two boys (7 year olds) spent part of their afternoon sitting by the door watching parents coming in the door so they could look at their butts and critic them (until they were found out); then they started asking her inappropriate questions. Do you have a boyfriend? Do you kiss? Do you shower together? and so on. What the heck?! So, I get to have a delightful conversation with these two boys about how these are not nice things to ask and how 'would it embarrass you to have those things done to you and have those questions asked?'; then we don't do that to other people. Some things are private. Ugh, some days kids are just so much fun.
Anyway, needless to say, today was a major Monday. The rest of my day at work was NON-STOP chaos and I am exhausted. I plan to finish editing my next set of photos from Dawes and then get to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
Enjoy the pictures and here's hoping your week started out better!

Dawes Arboretum: Set 1
Several weeks ago I decided I needed to become more social. I'm not usually good at that. I like to be on my own when I'm not at work. I am a loner. I live alone, eat alone, hike alone, etc. But, I know I need to do more with other people, so I joined a group. I found a website called Meetup.com and joined a group called HikeOhio! They are based out of Columbus and do most of their hikes in that area. That is fine with me as I do a lot of hikes lately in that area, travel there a lot for personal reasons and hope to move there soon.
Today was my first hike with the group. We met at Dawes Arboretum and it was beautiful. I spent the first part of my time at the Arboretum with the group and the later half on my own taking pictures and exploring. For all my push to join a group, I still have a strong desire to be on my own and I could only handle so much time doing what other people wanted to do. (Sorry, I mean no offense by this. I've just been single and independent way too long!)
Anyway, here is the first set of photos from my hike. All total I have about 60 photos to edit and publish. This is the first 20. I hope you like them. I know I loved the Arboretum and will be going back some time in the future! Enjoy!
