Goats are so inquisitive and charming. I knew two alpines who hung around during cook-outs on the farm and ate our shoelaces and hopped into the back of pick-up trucks ;-)
I've had cows do that, too. It's a little . . . hmmmm . . what? - unsettling; because we put them behind fences? I don't have the same guilty twinge when a deer watches from the forest edge.

The Adventures of Red Canoe
Come along in Red Canoe as she explores the quiet backwater of Ohio's State Parks and the scenic streams and rivers of the Midwest. Discover the beauty hidden beyond the water's edge, quietly waiting, past access points, often only inches deep!
Grabbing every minute I can find to be outside--walking in it, sleeping in it ... breathing it in. The natural world has so much beauty to uncover.
It is my hope that by capturing my experiences with nature and by sharing the richness it adds to an ordinary life, others may discover the greatest gift waiting just outside their door.
In Spring of 2008, I began the study of 2 vernal pools on my property as part of theOhio Vernal Pool Partnershipmonitoring program.My2008 journalincludes the first photos and findings, as I studied this fascinating wetland area just a few steps beyond my backdoor...
2009 photos and findings,2010,... again!Now, 4 years later, another season is just days away!
A regularly appearing feature, "Have you seen..." takes a closer, more patient look at things usually not seen in a flattering light.Take a look!
The Sweetness of Spring
Each spring, as winter lessens its grip and days warm with the first fragrant breezes of a new season, we collect sap from our Sugar Maples and produce just enough syrup for ourselves for the coming year. The progress of this year's backyard endeavor is illustrated here.
A Bird's Life
Summer 2008, the tiny jewel of the avian world, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, nested just feet from my front door. Pictures of her nest and the changing lives within are collected in thisjournal.From life the size of a pea....

I spent the morning walking around outside--no matter where I went, I could feel them watching. Mom was up to something!
is that one dark goat actually sitting dog-like? Gosh wouldn't those be adorable to spend time with each day -- no doubt what they might say!

I'm sure the goats are collecting information and will eventually report back to the Mother Ship.
What an appreciative audience.
I think these would say "Feed Me"
