- 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!

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.

There's no better lighting for pictures than nature gives us early in the morning. Wonderful photographs.

A glorious sky. A perfect start for the new Sky Watch.
Early morning light is definitely worth getting up for, which your top photo proves.

Oh what a beautiful morning! I can feel the crisp cool air here! Absolutely gorgeous!
Lovely hues. Lovely Sky Watch shot, Nina.
Very nice capture of the light on the mushrooms. So hard to do! Read your latest post also with the birds. We used to live where there were a lot of Jays and you're right they are nasty buggers. Had to chase one away from a chipmunk one time. Sad about the babies, what a beautiful picture of them.
Great sky picture. Love the shrooms too.
