Szkoła Św. Jadwigi  (St. Hedwig's School)

There are buildings that currently have different purposes, than what they had been built for. Sometimes, they still have the original proud carved stonework, which identifies their origin. Lakewood Ohio, has a few streets off Madison called Birdtown. The people that lived there were from central and eastern Europe. Each group had their church, and often school. Sometimes, the stones were bi-lingual.

squirrel, Bath Nature Reserve

Well, had not been at Bath Nature Reserve for some time. There is a 1.3 mile Solar System Walk, with computer designed art by Alexander Landis. After Pluto, there is Joe Frohnapfel's Chief Logan [click]. Pluto had the terrifying Cerberus, the three headed dog, who is not that terrifying here.

Blue heron at Peninsula Ohio's rookery, 20 February, with not so good lighting. There are now two trees, off a major road, where many herons nest. In mid-February the males take to the nests, and do some repair and add on.
