Psalm 100:4-5
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:1-4

Sounds like my kind of day. That park is just gorgeous!
Hi Margie,
There's a lot of everyday beauty here, don't you think? I don't know how far you are from Cayuhoga National Park, but it's worth visiting. They offer nice hikes and a couple waterfalls. Nothing like the high sierras, mind you, but very pretty nonetheless. They also have a lot of planned children's nature events. It covers a large area--part of Summit County park system, I believe. But it's also a National Park.
The park pictured here in the post isn't Cuyahoga though.
Try this website to see how far Cayuhoga is from you.
