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!
I'm out there!

- 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.

With my boots on...
In Spring of 2008, I began the study of 2 vernal pools on my property as part of the Ohio Vernal Pool Partnership monitoring program.
My 2008 journal includes 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!

Or really FAR OUT!
Travel beyond the Midwest has taken me to some beautiful places. Usually off the beaten track, these places are WILD!

New River Nature Festival

Have you seen...
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 this journal.
From life the size of a pea....

Happy Easter, indeed, Nina!
What a face! What a wonderful rebirthing world!
He looks like he's been decorated for easter. I'm enjoying all your vernal pool posts
This Salamander looks as though it is smiling. I hope you have a happy easter too.
Now, I wonder what he's smiling about?
Happy Easter to you! Thanks for being here to create a little bright 'spot' in my day.
Such a cute happy face.. a great post for Easter or anytime of the year. I can't help but smile back at this beautiful creature.

Thank you for taking us to a vernal pool. How I would love to have one nearby! This makes me itch to get out to the beaver pond, soon! Just love these posts.
