All of these were taken along the shore at the end of Oxbow Road, just south of Galena, Ohio.
I liked the reds and purples in the piece of driftwood as well as the texture of the stoney shoreline.
Just a photo of a lost feather. No, I am NOT going to be looking for Lost Feathers now!
"Painted Death"
I found this poor dead Painted Turtle on a path just above shoreline. In time, his body will decay and fertilize the soils, as well as feed small critters. Even his shell will get nibbled on for it's protein.
