Punderson Lake

A couple Saturdays back Crystal and I decided to explore Punderson Lake. We were considering it as a one year anniversary retreat (October 1st - Tomorrow!) but due to our recently decided upon plans for next Spring we wanted to scale back on the expenses. So instead we went out one fine afternoon to check it out anyways and as always I had to take some pictures.

I'll start with my favorite. I think it really shows off how neat the new camera has turned out to be. This is a picture of a fairly far away bird in moving quickly in mid-flight. Even in it's original size the image is still rather sharp.

Sleepy Daku

Daku is always super sleepy. I was able to catch him during this huge yawn. I think we should probably be cleaning his teeth a little more often.

Cleveland Museum of Natural History

As I mentioned last time, we went to the Natural History Museum last Sunday. Outside of the super crowded free days University Circle has some times, I don't think I've ever been here before. Having time to really check it out I enjoyed it a lot. I was surprised to find they have a permanent exhibit of 8 different types of Ohio animals outside the museum. There was tons of neat stuff to take pictures of like...

Beetles


Deer


Exhibits on how tall Crystal is


Pretty Gems


Dinosaur Sculptures
