Central Ohio in the fall. In Columbus, we're fortunate to be surrounded by a series of <a href="http://www.metroparks.net/">Metropolitan Parks</a> that are well maintained and within easy driving distance. The fall colors are wonderful. I visited Sharon Woods Metropolitan Park in the late afternoon, Inniswood Metropolitan Garden in the morning, Highbanks Metropolitan Park one afternoon, and Prairie Oaks Metropolitan Park shortly after sunrise. http://billblinn.smugmug.com/Nature/Fall-2008-at-Columbus-Metro/SharonWoods08101120500025/391670355_JptyK-Ti.jpg http://billblinn.smugmug.com/gallery/6212005_iq2K4/ 2008-10-13T01:43:52Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
