I'm sitting down for a chat with Wren of the Nature Blog Network today. If you get a chance, swing by.
And if nature-themed writing and photography are what you're looking for, there are 700 more blogs you might enjoy reading here.
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!
Come browse my photography site, Nature Remains: nothing but a photograph, for full-page slide shows of my favorite images and opportunities to purchase them.
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!

New River Nature Festival
Olympic National Park
Pictured Rocks and the UP

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....

How nice for you and so deserving!!!
I have to add...your "A Moment in Time" post is one of my favorites also. I can remember reading it and feeling I were there.
What fun. I'll have to explore the list.
Wonderful and insightful interview. Thanks for the link.
Enjoyed your interview very much ... thanks for directing us there. Glad you were picked for an interview because your blog is always very interesting and the pictures primo!
Wow! That interview was wonderful. I'm proud that I knew you 'when.'
I especially like what you said about observing things more carefully when you know you'll be sharing it with others. There have been many times when I studied things much more closely - to the point of taking notes - when I knew I'd be writing about them. I've noticed many wonderful things that way that I'm sure I would have never seen otherwise. I think blogging has changed the way I look at the world.
Fascinating and informative interview that gives us a rare glimpse of the philosophy and evolution of such a suburb writer and photographer -- and with lessons for us all.
...that was a wonderful interview!!! I enjoyed reading it, just as I always enjoy reading your posts -- inspirational and informative!
