It’s Spring and I’m walking the eastern section of the Falls of the Ohio State Park looking for birds. I have done this religiously for years and have seen most of the species that have been recorded in this park. I love birds because they are such beautiful expressions of life. I envy their extreme mobility [...]

Dear readers…I have so much to post and have fallen a couple of weeks behind. The work a day world has been extra busy (and rewarding) of late. Still, I have made time to go to the river and “do my thing” to maintain my peace of mind. It’s time now to post my images [...]

Twenty four hours later, people in the Kentuckiana area are still trying to absorb what happened yesterday. A monstrous tornado completely wiped out several small communities including the town of Henryville which is about twenty miles from my home in Louisville. It’s a scene of complete destruction and there was loss of life all along [...]

On a warm Saturday morning in mid February, I was exploring the eastern section of the Falls of the Ohio State Park. At first glance, I had the place to myself and I began my systematic sweep of the shoreline looking for whatever the river had temporarily marooned here. Usually, I will walk down to [...]

One last post before all of 2011′s sand runs through the hour-glass! Here are a few of the many rubber duckies that I have come across at the Falls of the Ohio over the years. I thought it would be a fun way to end the year. If you would like to see more ducky [...]

After a brief cold and wet spell I made it out to the Falls of the Ohio last Saturday. The Ohio River was rising as were the temperatures which had dipped into the 30 degree mark for a few days. One look around here and there is no doubt that it is autumn in Kentuckiana. [...]

I’m at the Falls of the Ohio again because the Ohio River has been priming my subconscious all week with the sound of running water. I am also very close to finishing the piece I’m making for an invitational art exhibit I’m participating in which revolves around the issue of coal and mountain top removal. [...]

Hard to believe a week has passed since this exhibition opened and summer has made room for autumn as well. Such is the passing of time. As promised here are a few views of the show my work is in which opened at Bellarmine University’s McGrath Gallery on September 16. The exhibit is entitled “Outcasts [...]

It’s the Falls of the Ohio State Park in late summer. We haven’t had any significant rain in a few weeks and the fossil beds are exposed as the river has retreated away. This isn’t a permanent condition…just the way it is during this season. Visitors are walking over the rocks and admiring the many [...]

The huge mound of recently deposited driftwood under the railroad bridge is both an obstacle and a magnet. It’s not easy to walk over and it helps to have a good walking stick to help maintain your balance. The rewards for persevering are a nice elevated view of the Louisville skyline and the potential for [...]
