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!
- nina at Nature Remains.
- 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!

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

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....

We are at a balmy 13 degrees F here in the swamp.
Start out the day at -22 in central MN,
11 degrees F west of Atlanta, GA (Backyard thermometer)
currently 9 deg F in Towson, MD
Right now it is -2 and feels like
-2. Thank goodness the wind isn't as bad as it was yesterday. The sun is shiniing and that makes it seem better.
OOps, I forgot to say where I am, SW Indiana where it is -2.
Canton, OH:
Temperature: -9
Wind chill: -23
Can you say "Brrrrrrrrr!!!!!!"
Sorry, our low today was 17 degree C in Taipei, a lot of sunshine and warm.
Minus 13 here along the river when I went out to scatter cracked corn for the birds; overnight, -14.
It had warmed up to 18 by the time I got up this morning in Cape May County, New Jersey.
It was -36 here in Central Maine when I got up this morning. It's warmed up to -18 now (10:45 EST).
Brrr!
You know, we all see the national maps and the records being broken, even in the south--but it's a little more real to hear it from the faces we know.
Thanks!
Some people around here had days off of work and school due to the cold.
Minus 23 here in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota. I won't even THINK about the wind chill.
Somewhat better today,only -26C and a winchill of -38C.
Blessings,Ruth
Phew, Ruth!
First I missed the "C" of your temp.
But -26 is pretty cold either way, I guess! (-15F?)
KaHolly--can you see past the frosted windows?
25F! Yukon, Canada
The early morning view out the window was breathtaking! But I couldn't bring myself to venture out to document it!
It's a balmy 12 here in SE PA.... Hope everyone is toasty warm inside.....
Jozien--25F?? That's positively toasty! And you look so well prepared for the COLD!
-32 in northeast Minnesota this morning! Although if I had read my other thermometer, it may have been closer to 40 below.
12 degrees F in Charlotte. That's cold for these parts. No wind chill. Tomorrow: 4 degrees
I don't remember -25 in the mid-atlantic. We were probably close, though.
Western NC reports 4 degrees for the low last night. Even colder in the higher elevations (>4,000 ft)
-4.8 C or 23.36 F here in the south Cariboo (southern interior B.C.)
10F here right now. It feels like -2F
It was -4F here in Morrow this morning. We're are almost neighbors Nina.
Officially minus 20 Celsius but the wind chill was fierce, so...
We started out at 35F this morning. Guess I really shouldn't mention that we're up to 60F with beautiful, clear blue skies this afternoon. Nope, won't mention that at all! ;-)
Lake Worth ..Florida
50 degrees last night..in the high sixties today..
Sorry you all are freezing up there...stay bundled and warm...I am taking a deep breath and blowing some warmth up to all of my friends up north!
It's chilly up here in Ontario.
-17C but with the wind chill it's 'Feels like' -27C!
1F feels like -17F
A nice to day be INside looking out at bright snow and blue skies.
6 degrees in southwestern Virginia
We had -6 temps here today!
Minus 27.6 C here on the thermometer in our area of SW Ontario. That is -17 F. Not as cold as the west, but cold enough for me. Wind chills are much colder, but I don't even like to think about that.
Central PA--6 degrees F.
All these bone-chilling temps in Canada and U.S.
Temps in Fairbanks, Alaska today--44 degrees F.
Huh?
Hi Nina! One good thing about the cold, it blew our Horned Larks in!! They arrived today at the office, and we already put some seed out to entice them to stick around. The office is in Mason, just off I-71 across from Kings Island if you want to catch them.
Kelly--I actually might!
I've never seen Horned Larks, though I know to look for them now.
9 degrees in northwest Georgia.
It's freezing here too.
Our low yesterday was -13. The coldest weather I have ever in my life experienced.
I think I'll go buy some of those battery powered heated socks.
UK....Kent.....7C....positively hot compared to everyone else....I must remember never to complain about the cold again!!
-6 F on Droop Mountain Jan. 16, with a high of +4 !
January 17 was -13 at 5 am; we were up throwing wood in the stove every few hours. We've turned the water off to the kitchen, and drained the pipes, looking forward to tomorrow's better weather!
