Art in Ault Park

Ault Park is one of the many beautiful Parks in the Cincinnati area, with frequent events, such as “Art in Ault” that I attended this past week.  The work of Holly Schapker, a local artist, was on display along with complimentary wine and music!

I arrived early to take some photos.  The pavilion has wonderful architecture for photographs and the gardens are beautiful!

As I passed a small group of attendees, I couldn’t restrain myself from asking to take the photo of this lovely lady and her stately Poodle!

Rebirth

Spring is so full of possibilities and life!  The trees grow fuller, the flowers blossom and our world turns green!  Living on five acres, surrounded by trees, I often feel disconnected…as if I’m in a cocoon.  I like the quiet…the sounds of nature–chirping birds, rain pattering, things growing.

Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park, Cincinnati, Ohio

The Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park in Cincinnati, Ohio has some cool art!  The walking path within the Park parallels the Ohio River and is approximately 1/2 mile in length.  The Park represents world unity and global understanding and I love it!

Went to the Cincinnati Zoo to see the Flowers…but there weren’t any!

It was chilly last Wednesday when I arrived at the Cincinnati Zoo to take photos of their massive flower display.  I found a $2 discount at Krogers to use on the $15 admission price and avoided the $8 parking cost by parking less than a block away on the street.  Once inside, I began walking around, taking some photos of some of the animals and searching for the flowers.  I saw that bulbs had been planted, but no blooms.  I asked an employee and he said they haven’t bloomed yet.  I only stayed a couple of hours and didn’t even go into any of the buildings to see animals because my camera would fog up when I did.  It’s not that I don’t love animals and taking pictures of them, I guess I feel sorry for them being held captive.  But I understand how much knowledge and enjoyment humans receive in doing so.

The Polar Bears were the most playful and active of the bunch…
