never more than arm’s length away,
long and lean,
without a voice,

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!

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

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.

He's beautiful!!!
Such a beautiful boy! Did you keep all the kittens?
These are wonderful tributes, and beautiful babies. Did you keep all five? That is, 3 more posts coming? (I'd forgotten about the mom... so sad.)
Beautiful! I miss having kittehs.
So sweet! Makes me miss my shadow, Minnow, another rescued kitten. She followed me around the yard and helped me in the garden.
What a handsome fellow!
Nina--this is wonderful. I loved the kitten photos a year ago. It is so nice to see how each has grown, and how their personalities have emerged. What sweet kitties they were; what wonderful cats they are.
beautiful cats!
Alex seems to be a wise soul. A beautiful boy!
Alex looks so graceful the way you caught him sitting.
Alex looks like a much skinnier version of my Penny.
