An abandoned railroad bridge spanning the scioto river hidden in the scrubland, sandwiched between an active quarry and a gated community of luxury condos. A shot of the cascading water from the base of the 35ft tall, 500ft wide Griggs Dam creating a reservoir with a one billion two hundred million gallon capacity. A cairn, the fall colors and the clouds reflecting off the calm water looking downstream of the Scioto River. Fun little ice bells on a twig dangling near the waters of Scioto River. #snow A shot of a Great Blue Heron scouting about as the sun sets behind the Julian Griggs Dam. The dam was built in 1905 and is named after the city's chief engineer at the time. The 500ft long dam creates the Griggs reservoir. A collection of autumn leaves and algae coated stones in the still chilly waters along the Scioto River. Ice formations of all shapes and sizes like these could be found all along the shore of the Scioto River glistening like gemstones in the winter sun. #snow A view of the churning waters of the Scioto River just south of the 35ft tall, 500ft wide Griggs Dam. VooDoo is a LONG way away. So, here's the local option: gourmet doughnuts available only on Fridays and Saturdays at the Fremont Goodie Shop. From left to right: Bananas Foster (banana icing, caramel creme filling, roasted and salted caramel), Southern Pecan Coffee (coffee creme filling, coffee icing, roasted and salted pecans), Milky Way (double filled with creme and dulce de leche, topped with chocolate icing and chocolate shavings) and the Black and Gold (black pepper creme filling, golden caramel sea salt icing, topped with two strips of bacon). A couple of bracket fungi with water sprouts from the host tree growing through them along the shore of the Scioto River. Chilaquiles, a traditional Mexican dish with eggs, onion, zucchini, roasted corn, red salsa, corn tortilla strips and pepper jack cheese. Topped with cilantro and served with a side of black beans and house fried tortilla chips. A waffle and a large order of hash browns scattered, double smothered and covered! Feeling adventurous? Why not give today's flavor a try; chocolate covered strawberry walleye! A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) stalking some dinner at the base of the Julian Griggs Dam. Fried Plantains with a salsa-ranch dipping sauce from Louie's Grill Fusion Restaurant in Hilliard. Quite an eclectic menu with Cuban, Cajun, Mexican, American and Italian offerings. An ice formation left behind from the splashing waters of the Scioto River resembles the skeleton of a T-rex head. #snow The dam and cisterns at the south end of Griggs Reservoir. A decaying concrete edifice. No idea what it once was. Walleye Po'boy fully dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo and Crystal's hot sauce on a sour dough roll. Not even -18 temperatures can freeze the flow of the water cascading over the 35ft tall, 500ft wide Griggs Dam. #snow Tex-Mex style Chilaquiles - three scrambled eggs with chorizo, poblano peppers, onions, zucchini, corn, jack cheese and chipotle sauce. Served with corn tortilla chips and black beans. Quite an eclectic menu with Cuban, Cajun, Mexican, American and Italian offerings. An opening in the mostly frozen over Scioto River gives a gaggle of geese and a raft of ducks a place to frolic. #snow This American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) is recognized as the oldest tree in the city of Upper Arlington. The stop sign in the lower right corner helps give some scale to just how large this specimen is. Three sliders from the Oh! Burgers truck. A bacon cheeseburger. A Greek Goddess with feta, cucumber, and onion. A black and blue with bacon, blue cheese, sauteed onion and green apple. Fried maduros for an appetizer. The menu said the accompanying sauce was ranch but it was more in the vein of like a crab or seafood dip. Looking north towards Griggs dam, a close up of snow crystals forming on the shore of the Scioto River. #snow 2018 burger no.2 The Passport 614 Burger from Passport 196 - 1/2lb chef’s blend of ground short rib, chuck and brisket seasoned burger, char-grilled to perfection Crab stuffed walleye topped with salsa rojo and verde, served with black beans, rice, saut?ed seasonal vegetables and Cuban bread. Looking down river from the dam, the waterfowl enjoyed a small space of unfrozen water to wade in under the winter sun. #snow The Superburger with a side of tots from Johnnie's Tavern Not a sign you see to often in Central Ohio. Crispy Orange Deluxe! Beef, chicken and shrimp. Chiliquiles; Eggs scrambled with chorizo, peppers, onions, corn, zucchini, tortilla chips, all tossed with a smoked chile cream sauce, jack cheese & cilantro, served with black beans. Seafood creole! Cuban omelet. Beef brisket, caramelized onions, black beans, cheese and spices. Fall colors as seen from the fairway of the courses 8th hole.
