Still TRIPPin" On Wednesday! Beatiful Pics of Stan Hywet

The picture made me start remembering the great weather we enjoyed this year in the fall around here. It was exceptionally clear, warm, and mostly dry (not a lot of rain). If you are ever in Akron, be sure to visit Stan Hywet Mansion and grounds. It is spectacular inside and out.

There is a lot tot see, including an aviary with hundreds of live butterflies.

This is a view as you walk through the vineyard.

Lovely garden shaded path that leads to the Quarry, and retention ponds. This estate at one time was entirely self-sufficient from outside sources, growing its own food, cattle, producing its own electricity and water.

One of the beautiful butterflies rsting ona a plant leaf.

And finally, this is one of the terraces that overlook the Japanes Gardens.
