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!

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

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....

Bring it on. You want a piece of me?
Go ahead, MAKE MY DAY.
"Mirror Mirror On The Wall.. I'm I Not The Fairest Frog Of All?"
Hum, is this frog waiting to be kissed by some Princess?
The caption that immediately jumped to my mind was a film one...
"You talking to me?"
"Come closer and give me a little kiss"
I posted a Frog on my blog today too! You know what they say about great minds......
Considering the season and activity ....
"Do YOU mind --- We would like a little privacy !!"
"Pardon me, but might you have any Grey Poupon?"
OR
"I am sorry old chap ,we are out of the Grey Poupon -- but would you like some TOADSTOOLS ??)
Who ARE you and what have you done with my CHILDREN!!???
"I want to go lily pad hopping. Please mom. Can I? Can I?"
"Would you get me my crown, please?"
Such a perfect shot! Put a smile on my face also!
Nina, that was fun :o)
I thought the same, clare.. 'you talking to me?' lol!
I'm glad you all enjoyed this--I loved the photo so much, I couldn't imagine burying it in text.
From Ncmountainwoman's, Mary's, Clare's and Hedgewitch's tough guy/Dirty Harry impression (and doesn't he look cool under pressure?)
to Tom's, Quintarantino's, Kerri's and NW Naturenut's fairytale prince (who's definitely waiting for something!)
and Greg and Cestoady's dapper Englishman (Hi, Greg--thought I could lure you eventually!)
to Rambling's and Possumlady's thinking like a toad (the children are a handful!) :-)
YOU guys all put a smile on my face, too!
Well done!!
I'm a little late, but I think he's saying, "It wasn't me!" (He has that guilty, naughty look on his face...)
The toad says:
"I assure you, madam, you have nothing to worry about, for warts are caused by internal viral infections, not external sources such as myself."
Jennifer--yes, he does look like he's just been caught in the act, doesn't he!
jw--you should consider joining the Society for Advancement of Herpetological Inquiries.
nina, I would join up, but their annual dues are just so (gila) monstrous!
