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!

- 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!

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....

I don't think i've tried elderberries but I hear that they are great for tea.
Elderberries are delicious as jam and as wine! Great idea!
My Dad has made some elderberry wine. They are such pretty little berries.
A most topical post on the letter E. Here our elderberries are not far off from ripening :)
Great Photos...I like the first shot, I haven't seen these growing...or didn't know what they were...this is a great E post...
Beautiful photos! I don't think they grow in our area but they look so pretty!
Yum! I love elderberry products. What are we making here, jam?
Love the pictures of the process of making ....... ?
What will these turn out to be?
Wow and wow and delicious! I sometimes forget that one of the joys of gardening is harvesting, cooking and eating/drinking.
Right now, the juice is what I've gained form the pile of berries.
I'll probably freeze it as such, and revisit it in the fall, when standing over a boiling pot is more welcome.
I may make jelly or syrup or ?
I love the title (Portrait). You really follow the life of an elderberry! But where are you munching at the end?
Like the wine and jelly.

Since you are on my blogroll,
you know I like your blog.
I Like the great photos and writeups.
I am back blogging again.
I just started a new WordPress Blog, 'I C U Nature' for Nature Only!
Click here to see the blog.
It will take some learning to work out the differences between WordPress and Blogspot.
The new blog is bare bones right now, with just the masthead and two posts.
Come visit and tell me what you think,

I don't think elderberries grow in California. My mother, a former Kansan once promised to bake a friend an elderberry pie, but couldn't locate any in California. They look delicious.
Ahh--this explains the Monty Python quote on FB. You had me mystified.
But, now I get it.
I've been tempted to try some elderberry 'stuff' again. My parents made wine and jam. The berries are nearly ripe here. Nice photos!
I don't think I have ever had elderberries but these do look delicious and would make good jam.
Such beautiful photos and so nicely sequenced together. I have no idea of the taste of the elderberry, but I am sure it is delicious.
Mmmm, yummm, Elderberry jelly, what a treat.
People have nearly forgotten about elderberries, but if I remember rightly, they're very high in vitamin C! I love the cordials you can now buy made with elderflowers, but elderberry jelly was lovely.
Every time I hear elderberries, I think of a line from an old blues song, "Drinkin Wine, Spodie-odie". Nice pictures.
Cool, I wish I could plant one here in Singapore...
Delightful!
Elderberry jam would be nice this winter.

I love it Nina... absolutely love it!
I've got strawberries,blueberries,and red raspberries but no elderberries I may have to change that
I've never seen or eaten edleberries. They kind of look like pomegranate out of the shell. This was a great choice for today's theme.
Astonishing photos. Martha Stewart Magazine calling.
I have to think that that many elderberries would have some profound medicinal effect when ingested. I thought you were making a pie of them! and thought, wooo, that would be SOME PIE.
