It is here! Spring has sprung! And at least to my observation, spring is a couple of weeks earlier than I recall, mostly due to a week or so of 70 and 80 degree temperatures around the first part of April. And for those of you who know me, I regret to admit that I [...]

I don’t often do this but this year I made a New Year’s Resolution. One of my favorite things to do is go camping and for one of many reasons, this always seems to take second to many other obligations. So my resolution was to make time this year to go camping once a month [...]

Stopped off here on my way to Cleveland Botanical Gardens to spend the afternoon with Mom & Dad. The weather was quite comfortable for January on the lake shore of Lake Erie. The ice was kinda neat but the birds that I hoped for weren’t around. Anyway, a few pix just for the fun of [...]

both in the creeks, and in the air, but for my travels, produce not a care. Now don’t get me wrong, I am just as happy with warm air and sunshine as the next person. And in my 25 years of trips to the Smokies I have seen just about everything, from that warm sunshine [...]

Well it has been a while and yes I got “out of the groove” again. I haven’t been taking many pictures lately but I have taken some since I last posted. Back in the middle of July, we took a trip to the eastern and central Upper Peninsula Michigan along the Lake Superior Shoreline. There [...]

As I mentioned yesterday on both Facebook and Twitter, the Ohio roadsides must be near peak for summer wildflowers. Chickory, Milkweed, Butterfly Milkweed, Flowering Sweet Pea, Shasta Daisy, Black eyed Susans, Day Lillys, and many more are there along most rural roads for your viewing pleasure. The bright orange Butterfly Milkweed seamed to catch my [...]

Thomas Kinkade is well known as a painter for his “Painter of Light” style. His images represent a delicate depiction of light and reflection in a soft peaceful setting. Many of his settings are of nature or a quiet rustic and country scene. His work is unmistakable any always a joy to view. A number [...]

UPDATE: Thank you both Bob and Keli for getting back to me so quickly to identify the Cecropia Moth being the largest moth in North America. How cool is that. I am looking for a lepidopterist or at least someone who pretends to be much the same way that I pretend to be a photographer. [...]
Dogwoods At Waters Edge

I have always been inspired by a simple photography that renowned landscape photographer William Neill captured of some dogwood blossoms. It is a simple image of a small group of blossoms taken with the Merced River in Yosemite National Park as the background. I have always admired his image for its simplicity and have been [...]
A Little Rusty but Great To Be Back
Posted in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Landscape, Nature, Spring on March 24, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Hello Again Everyone! I have been out of the photographic loop for too long. My kid’s activities and Dad’s accident (recovering nicely thank-you) have kept me overwhelmed. However, I have now been out the last two weekends. I am a little rusty but it is great to be back. Heading out in the dark always [...]
