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

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....

Beautiful pictures.
that rock formation looks from here like a face (wearing a hat), looking out to sea.
Beautiful coastline. Reminds me of the white cliffs of Dover.
Miner's Castle, I believe. How I wish I could have gotten up there this year.
Fantastic captures of an incredibly beautiful place! Truly breathtaking! I particularly love the first two shots and like Bobbie, I see a head with a hat on! Love it!
Have a great week!

It looked lovely indeed. I have seen it a couple of times, but only covered with ice.
Love your pictures of the rugged coastline. Beautiful.
This coast reminds me of the White Cliffs of Dover! They are beautiful. I also like the slide of the hatching eggs and little birds. Wonderful site!
As usual, lovely photos!
Georgeous!! What beautiful coastline.

Beautiful! Reminds me a bit of the flower pot islands near Tobermory in Lake Huron/Georgian Bay.
Breathtaking photos! You're right--no words are needed here.
ditto what Rose said; no more needs to be stated
I live on the Minnesota side of Lake Superior and recognize the same rocky bluffs there too. Absolutely beautiful photos for today!
Yes, Jim, that's Miner's Castle.
And the color of the water crashing against the cliffs is exactly as it appears in all the glossy brochures.
Who needs to go to Cancun when we have sights like these a day's drive from home!?
We had thought about going to that very same seashore last summer but opted out. Your photos make me want to vacation there next summer. Looks wonderful.
These are very pretty photographs of a pretty shoreline.
I too find beauty in my own backyard.

Very peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Perfectly beautiful! I love the photo that captures the depth of the water and the rocks.
P for Picture!! Now why didn't I think of that? LOL!
Beautiful pictures, too. I love how you can see the sloping sea bed at the shore line there.
Now these photographs take my breath away! What a gorgeous coastline.
