There was a nice little birdie:



And a bridge:



And a squirrel:



And a waterfall:










And a very long walk, not to mention a vicious set of stairs, to get back to where one can see the waterfall:




Which almost made me dizzy (just playin'):



Cleveland rocks - and it also has my A-1 brother - I'll tell you all about him sometime - and his wife and wonderful daughter. Here's my brother and his little girl:

I really like #2!

Yes...the suspension bridge pic kicks ass.

I want Neva to fly with me and carry a camera.
I have a couple of places the she could photograph.
Just tell me where to point the plane.

Sounds like fun to me, that's for sure!

Thanks, BOS and Dan.

I also saw one or two other things.

Poor bird looked kind of cranky.





So... dude really wanted that carrot badly - couldn't figure out a way to fit them lips through that fence. I finally overcame my fear and put it through the fence.



And then there's this boy (don't ask how I know he's a boy.)

Neva,
What beautiful pictures of Brandywine Falls! Many thanks for sharing your gift!

Neva - you certainly did not see all the great stuff in Ohio, but you did make an extremely fine start!

Very nice photo's

Nice pics Neva! Thanks for sharing.

DCM7 - Yes, Brandywine - really pretty back there but if you know the falls, you know those stairs down to it. That was a personal challenge - especially because I am terrified of heights.

Crescendo - oh, not even close - due to some changing circumstances, I didn't get to do the last thing I planned for the little trip which was take the ferry over to Put In Bay, have dinner and then come back. Would have been fun but I ran out of time. And I only just ran across the top of Ohio and still didn't see half there was to see.

lengkeek - Thank you - the US has so many lovely "backyard" treasures - I just love finding them.

I really like the squirrel.

Is that a zedonk or a zehorse?

I have not a single clue. It was certainly an albino and definitely zebra - what else might be in there is an I dunno.

Neva,
The stairs down to the observation can be daunting. I am glad you made the trek. When you visit again, consider the one mile loop which starts in the southwest corner of the lot for the bed & breakfast across the ravine. The trail travels along the ravine ultimately coming to a point where one can cross farther downstream. Once across the stream the options are to travel up the closed road to the parking area or take the trail, relatively steep, with switchbacks which brings one out farther up the closed road.

Looks like the new Veterans' Glass City Skyway Bridge over the muddy Maumee River, I-280 in Toledo,OH.
The center structure actually has LED illumination of 16 million or so patterns/sequences.

I love that zebra pic!

Yep, that's it - looked like sort of a pointless structure, but definitely had a hey, that's cool factor. It's nice to know it's a memorial to all veterans.

He loved carrots - I went through three 2-lb bags of them - moslty between the zebras, camels and giraffes.

Honestly, though, I do not think I would go back to that particular place. I went there because I had such a wonderful time at the one I went to in TX, but there, for the most part, the animals were not behind fences in pens. I still had a nice time, but I doubt I would go back.

This guy liked carrots, too, but I was scared to let him get too close to the car with those horns. Pretty sure they could do some damage.

Is that the bridge on I-280 around Toledo?

Yep, sure is, Rob.

I drove across it this Sunday morning.

I was trying to figure out what the hell for a bit then got the full view. I like the symmetry.

Thanks for driving through Toledo! Hope you enjoyed it!

OP, you should have really tried to make it to Put-in-Bay. It's like an adults DisneyLand out there!
