Before gas prices inflated, we used to take regular sojourns over to Yellow Springs, home of Antioch, Dave Chappelle and, as one resident once told me, a population dominated by psychologists and artists. We took the ride over for our first visit in a long while yesterday, ostensibly for an artists’ studio tour. Mostly we just enjoyed the town’s usual spots, made a little more festive by the artistic theme of the weekend.
At sunset, we headed over to Clifton Gorge, and walked along the rim, which Declan inexplicably described as looking “like the North side of Chicago.”

gorgeous there- I need to go there someday. I have only been one time and I loved it. I love college towns and country roads.
Beautiful pictures. The twisted tree looks like a bird on the trunk to me. (speaking of art!) There’s obviously NATURAL art there as well! ~smile~
It must have been a lovely day out. My husband works 7 days a week, 12 hour days, so I long for a day out just enjoying life like this! Soon, soon I hope.
Blessings, Cassidy

I’m with Cassidy, I had to look twice to see if the “bird” was part of the tree or a sculpture attached to it! Beautiful photos!
It’s been years since I went to Clifton Gorge. Christmas time when they put up all the lights. It’s going to have to make my to do list this year.
