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!

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
Olympic National Park
Pictured Rocks and the UP

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....

Gorgeous colors. The bugs really are a contrast to their position.
Lovely images. You know I love the insects! The colors are gorgeous, especially that first picture.
There's a great visual humor to these! And I'm really taken with the spotted flower, and those corkscrew thingys. Still can't quite decide it they are the "before" or "after" of the blooms!!
So beautiful! You just put some color on my grey winter day!
Besos,
Mel
These images have been collecting—waiting for the perfect moment to appear.
They’re not really anything more than an impulsive act on my part—the result of a, “Wow!” while walking. The collision of color that has no more story than a great visual in a small space.
The top photo is Canada Thistle, with a green sweat-bee type above and soldier beetle (?) below. The second and third are Blackberry Lilies, also with the green sweat bee visiting. Those “corkscrews” are the past blossoms. Seed pods are starting, too.
bright happenings for sure.
very pretty!
Do you know what those red flowers are? They are gorgeous.
Fantastic!!!
Beautiful pic! Love flowers with insects!
Flowers and bugs... some of my favorite things. I have a similar photo of the lavender color flower complete with bugs on my site from a springtime hike: http://hundewanderer.com/2009/04/todays-hike-dragonfly-trail-jewel-of.html
I really enjoy your photos, thank you for sharing your world with me.
