I took a walk over at Sugarcreek Metropark this afternoon to get some pictures. We’ve had a mostly dry summer here, but we’ve had a few good wind storms that have done some real damage. Part of that damage was the knocking over of one of the 500+ year old trees that are a centerpiece of the park. The tree was apparently hollowed out in the bottom, maybe even most of the trunk, and the wind that came through here a few weeks back was finally enough to break it. It’s hard to comprehend that I’m one of the first people to see this spot without the tree since before Columbus discovered America.

Otherwise, the park seems much as it usually does this time of year. I’ve posted a number of pictures of the park and a few things around the house at my MobileMe gallery. A couple of weeks ago, I got a new walking around camera at Target - the Samsung S860 -  for $89. For what I paid, this camera has turned out to be very good. All the pictures you’ll see in the gallery were taken with it. For something simple to slip into your pocket, I recommend this camera.

And now, I leave you with the obligatory dog photos.
