This week we spent some time visiting friends in Marietta, Ohio. I had fun taking photos around town, looking for the Scavenger Hunt items: water, petal, fresh, eight & calm.
1. Water - Marietta, is located on the Ohio River, in southeastern Ohio. This is an old train bridge, turned into a walking bridge near the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. We walked across and had lunch on the other side. Notice the floating dock in the lower left-hand corner and the 2 tall posts that allow it to float up or down. Right now, with the lack of rain, the water level is low. There have been times when the rivers flooded and the dock floated all the way to the top. The river level this week is between 15 and 16 feet. During the floods of 2004 and 2005, the river reached 44.97 and 43.3 feet, respectively.
2. Petal - My friend had an herb garden on her back deck and I was attracted to this delicate flower petal on an arugula plant.
3. Fresh - As I was taking some photos of her "fresh" herbs, I noticed a little grasshopper who was probably helping himself to the basil plant. Fresh basil is my favorite herb...it adds a wonderful taste to many dishes.

4. Eight - We walked across the bridge and were exploring the other side of the river when we came across this wonderful "outdoor bicycle mobile" with "eight" wheels... hanging high up in the tree. I had to take some photos of this great work of art.
5. Calm - We had a great time traveling, but there's no place like home....You can't beat the calm waters just before the morning sunrise.
