I hustled out to Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest after supper. The evening promised a twin bill of fun and I wanted to reach Clermont while the sun was still out. I was able to take in the “Model Homes and Habitats” exhibition of bird houses and bird inspired art. The show had a strong Murray [...]

Here’s a collection of found objects that I photographed on location at the Falls of the Ohio State Park. All form a theme centered around transportation in the form of mostly discarded toys.

Over the years, I have removed more than may fair share of junk off the riverbank and to my wife’s chagrin, [...]
