| Glacier Lake, Mill Creek Metroparks, Youngstown, Ohio |
Last Wednesday my brother and I met in Pittsburgh in order to bury my mother's ashes in our hometown of Youngstown, Ohio. The following morning we watched while she was interred at Belmont Park Cemetery. It was a sad obligation we had to fulfill, and afterward we toured one of the most beautiful spots in the area: Mill Creek Park. We were buoyed by nature's beauty, and reassured by what we saw that we were part of life's great mystery, the neverending cycle of birth and death.

Riverside Gardens is especially beautiful.
Makes me homesick for Ohio, Packrat. Thanks for sharing.
I hadn't been back in years, Scott, and I always forget how beautiful the Buckeye State really is. Western PA, too.
