Even with my nose pressed to the glass, I could not see all there was.
The vastness, the remarkable texture, the melding colors under clouds that drift like snow across the face of the earth.

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!

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

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!
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.
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....

Such a beautiful aeroplane-shots. Those fields are always great with those strict patterns. The last one with small scattered clouds was my fave. Happy flying!
I love the way the farms make a patchwork quilt. And isn't it odd to look down on the top of clouds?
Wonderful photos from the plane. Such difference in the landscape. Always an amazing thing to see.

Love the patchwork patterns in the second and third shots...
Wouldn't it be fun to hear what the Ancients would have thought about these aerial views.
I always enjoy SWF, but this is the first I have seen where the view is from WITHIN the sky looking out -- marvelous twist in perspective.
Seeing the world from a plane is one of my favorite things. Beautiful pictures. I love to see the mountains, and rivers, and farms! What a neat perspective.
Watching the sky from within in - nice perspective!

When do you get to take photos like that?! Great shots!
Fabulous photos!
My favorite experience like that was flying across the Rockies.
Beautiful bird´s eyes shots.
Shot from a glider? Lovely photos, I always like the Jakob's coat of multicoloured firlds and rising land forms. Bird's eye views agive a different perspective to most of the skywatch photos.
