Always a treat is the Boston Mills area.  The Boston Store sits at the trailhead, and the trail runs under two spectacular bridges.  Today there was a Peregrine Falcon sitting under the I-80 bridge between the trail and the Cuyahoga River.  I couldn't figure out why it let me take some many photos without flying away, but i learned later that it was a fledgling.  Lots of beautiful wildflowers lined the trail, and one of the most beautiful was the white flower of the Catalpa tree, with its burgundy and yellow accents.  I saw a bluebird sniping at a squirrel, who may have been near its nest within a tree, but only managed to get individual photos of the two.  It was another beautiful, hot day, drank lots of water to keep hydrated.
