When the autumn weather is beautiful, it is impossible to resist the call of the wild! Even, as it happens, the wild is in Sharon Woods Metro Park here in Columbus. Carrying one's camera on even small adventures such as this usually yields a few fun shots of nature and friends, and this walk was no exception! We saw no less than 15 small snakes, a turtle, several deer and, appropriately, a few bluebirds of happiness. Here are some shots of the snakes, turtle and my good friend Laura.
