Father and daughter enjoy Monday’s string winds by flying a kite at Walnut Ridge Park on the playing field adjacent to the ball fields. In the background is the son who also handled a kite for the trio.
Despite a brief period when both kites went missing in the strong wind, one was retrieved after its string became entangled in a nearby tree. The other still sits atop a neighbor’s tree waiting for a another strong wind to dislodge it or a brave soul to venture out on a thin limb for retrieval.
Techncally, Big Walnut Creek emptying into Hoover Reservoir is in Galena. It’s close enough to Westerville that it’s included in one of our attractions. Access to the reservoir’s headwaters is at the end of the Westerville Bike trail that begins at the south end of the city.
These kayakers paddle beneath the Old 3C bridge leading into Galena.
The last of the Christmas lights on display in trees along the sidewalks of uptown Westerville are removed and placed into storage until next year. Most of the trees along the streets are only in their second year of growth and still small enough to be decorated from street level without use of ladders or aerial trucks.
