Pics of the Cox Arboretum Metropark in Dayton, Ohio

[Tobin S.]

Here's what you see as you enter the paths. The people working there in the gardens appear to be volunteers. There were about a dozen of them and they ranged in age from young to old.



A picture of one of the many ponds in the park.



They call this the crabapple tree grove.



The beginning of a 2.5 mile trek through the woods. They have three such trails. I walked two of them today.



It was at this point that I started thinking about the beginning of the classic horror flick Friday the 13th. :scared: But the beautiful scenery soon made me forget about that.



It's a long way down. Yodel-lodel-lay-hee-hoo!



That little building there is a bird blind. I checked it out for a bit, but didn't see anything eye-catching.



I thought I had several more photos but it looks like my camera's batteries took a crap on me. The Cox Arboretum is going to become very familiar to me as I need to get out and exercise and it's only 2 miles from my house. I'll see if I can get some more pics including one of the park's working dog, Zipp. He's proven to be elusive so far.

We visit a nursing home patient in the area and have enjoyed Aullwood Park in the northern section. This one looks great.
