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....

What a gorgeous kitten/cat. Very huggable and amazing colours! I love the name too.
Delightful photos and wonderful story
Olivia is the Princess of Fluff. She of course would require a feather bed.
I like the name Olivia for your monster. And she is beautiful, I bet you can't take bad photos of her!
Has to be the last image. Totally adorable and just show off those lovely bright eyes.
What a princess.
Olivia looks as though she got her mama's long fur.
Any idea what mix--DLH?
Oh, she is so adorable! What a great O Day shot!
Olivia is sure one heart-meltingly cute kitty! Thanks for sharing some purr-fect pictures! :-)
Beautiful face...
Such pretty kitties how wonderful that they have found a happy home.
Oh Nina what a heart breaking story about the kittens in your barn. We once found three kittens in a cardboard box by the road side and we raised two of them, because one died after a few days. We bottle fed them in the beginning, using catmilk powder. One of them was hit by a car after two years. We were heartbroken, she was so sweet. The other cat became 19 years old. He was also very sweet.
that first photo is just gorgeous.
mine’s here
Absolute gorgeous cats and nice angles on the photos. Seems very well-groomed too :-)
Your cat photos are wonderful. Could I have your permission to create colored pencil and/or watercolor images using your photos?
Thanks for considering the idea.
