Unfortunately, this hike started out with me getting pulled over by the police.  I guess I hadn't pulled off the road far enough when I was taking a picture of Annie by the Metroparks sign and he informed me that that was called illegal stopping and starting.  Where I'm from they don't stop if you're dying so I was surprised that he stopped because he thought I was broken down.  He wasn't a very nice policeman but I guess not every policeman is.  Anyway, he didn't give me a ticket just kept reminding me over and over that he could.  In fact, he reminded me so many times that my rebellious side finally kicked in to where I stupidly asked him if he was going to.  Could have kicked myself, but all ended well and I was on my way to greater adventures and learned a new lesson.
This park had a little meandering stream throughout which of course aeries wanted to walk across.  Annie had to help her.
We saw some new wildflowers on this hike as well.  Such as this one that I have not identified yet.
Rue Anemone
white trillium
and yellow trout lily
The wildflowers were beautiful but we also ran into about 7 deer.
The property used to be owned by the Brush family.  A huge rock is placed in the woods remembering the family.
As we were leaving the woods we were loosing light.  Very beautiful.
