Okay so I’m bowing to a little peer pressure and presenting additional images from a project I did the last month. The day I made my Styrofoam ant project I also kept crossing areas on the riverbank where iridescent flows from something oily was percolating up through the sand and mixing with slow flowing water.

I think today’s post will be shorter than usual, but will need to type it out to be sure. On this visit to the Ohio River I found it rising which surprised me because we haven’t had much in the way of either rain or snow this year. When I arrived on the scene, many [...]

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 [...]

As promised, here are a few images from my completed bottle project. For the last several months I have been finding empty liquor bottles and filling them with the coal that washed into the park after last spring’s flood. A recent invitation to participate in a coal-themed art exhibition gave me a new reason to [...]

I was looking for materials for a new project I’m working on and came upon this event on the driftwood pile at the Falls of the Ohio. There is so much wood massed and interlocked with itself that I wondered if fire could be a possibility here? The answer to that question is obviously yes. [...]

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 [...]

August has been the toughest month and I have two measly posts to show for it. The ankle is better and thanks for all the well wishes I received. I guess my other newsworthy item is that my trusty camera broke while on expedition to the Falls of the Ohio. I received the dreaded “lens [...]

It’s been a hot, hot summer at the Falls of the Ohio. For me, the best time to be out here is as early in the morning as possible. One advantage in doing this is you are more likely to see birds and other wildlife. I found this Indigo Bunting singing away from the topmost [...]

Just left or east of the railroad bridge at the Falls of the Ohio is where this adventure occurred. The river was still high but dropping. I was enjoying working in a section of the park that I don’t normally hang out at, but have discovered is both full of wildlife and potential art materials. [...]

The Ohio River has receded by the Falls of the Ohio. For many weeks the river was loath to relinquish the territory it had recently flooded. I ventured down the river bank and explored the more eastern section of the park. The following post is some thoughts and images made during this expedition into a very [...]
