How Green is My Valley: A Colorful My Town Monday Post

The Village of Peninsula, population 601, sits in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley. The Valley is awash with color throughout the year.  When people think of Autumn in the Valley, I think that they think of oranges and reds and golds. Those colors certainly are there; the palate is also shared with shades of green. Not the fresh young greens of spring, but rather the mature shades that have experienced a season of sunshine, rain, and wind.  Here is a look:

    We lived in southwestern Ohio when I was in high school, so not quite the same landscape, but very reminiscent. I love the turning to autumn – where I am right now we don’t have that wonderful transformation.

    Beautiful photos for Green!

    What a gorgeous spot! I can’t see that name Cuyahoga without thinking of an R.E.M. song.

    Hey, Debra, I’d be pleased if you’d visit my new blog, Kigo of the Kat (http:katkigo.blogspot.com) where you’ll find seasonal haiku and images. It’s a project others are enjoying and I’m sure you will too.
