Another morning walk
Nature’s invitation
Waiting sanctuary
Metro Park’s elation
Whether walking the Ridge
Or exploring the Woods
Life always tastes better
Forest feels like Sherwood’s
Courtly summer flowers
Moving with gentle breeze
Collection of colors
Inviting honeybees
Majestic trees shadow
Fertile landscape beneath
Time desires to stand still
Yet stirring underneath
Creation’s design breathes
Filling with fresh, new life
Tender, young trees sprouting
Praising newborn wildlife
Two of my most favorite places to walk in the early morning are found about 10 minutes from my home. Central Ohio is blessed with many scenic metro parks, and two of the best are Chestnut Ridge and Walnut Woods.

You are right Linda, I am blessed to have two metro parks so close to my home. My favorite is Chestnut Ridge with its totally natural landscape and trails.

This is exactly how I worship my friend! I’m patiently waiting for cooler temps (even the 80’s would be a relief) so I can return to the Sanctuary. Ohio is blessed indeed! I love my Missouri trails. But oh, how I’m longing for mountains.

Karla, thanks for sharing. While I enjoy these two special Ohio places, I frequently find my heart back under Montana’s Big Sky. I hope and pray that you have been safe from the flooding and dangerous weather conditions in parts of Missouri.

Thank you Jim. I especially enjoy the hilly and natural layout of the trails at Chestnut Ridge. You really feel isolated from the rest of the world.
