Featured Photo: Second Glance (Columbus Park of Roses; Columbus, Ohio; USA)
Roses bloomed just behind me. Profuse in their summer glory. Displayed as living artwork in galleries of garden beds. This bit of fencing stood out simply for its lack of adornment. And on second glance, I found it to be beautiful.

Featured Photo: Summer’s Sigh (Sharon Woods Metro Park; Columbus Ohio; USA)
Summer sighed. It drifted away on a soft exhale as Autumn pressed in. No use protesting. So instead I turned my camera to capture the transitioning moments at Sharon Woods Metro Park.

Recent high temperatures and heat advisories have ramped up the cool factor of Columbus’ revamped Bicentennial Park, an anchoring destination along the city’s newest parkway, the Scioto Mile. A mammoth 15,000 square foot fountain complex offers opportunities for the heat-weary to be misted, sprayed and drenched. Amenities include a new restaurant and restroom/changing area.
A feature of the newly opened Scioto Mile, the park is easily accessible via the Olentangy-Scioto Greenway biketrails. We rode down from north Columbus on a recent weekend and wandered the edges of the splash zone.
I had already carried a camera down the previous weekend but still felt an irresistible urge to photograph the refreshing updates, feeling very complimentary of my hometown all dressed up with its new river park frontage.
It was like seeing a good friend debut a chic new look. Columbus’ “new look” also includes The Promenade, a riverside corridor lined with swings, chess tables and fountains with framing views of the city skyline. A very becoming style and comfortable vibe.
I was proud of her.
