Fall in southern Ohio is usually quite colorful and is a time that leaf peepers look forward to every year.
This year, not so much. It seemed like the leaves turned late but mostly they just turned brown and fell when the rain moved in.
But we did have a brief period of blue skies and pockets of color like the day I took this covered bridge photo near Lancaster.
The good news is that those pockets of color did seem especially nice next to all that green and brown and we came to appreciate the color more than we normally might if everything was vibrant.
A recent work assignment found me on foot in Lancaster looking for photo ops. The thing about walking is that you notice things that you might miss from the car. Case in point: this old church, tucked in between two houses on a street about a block from downtown.
