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 [...]

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 [...]

Another year’s worth of fresh water has passed under our bridges. It’s been an eventful year in many ways and to recap things sounds like more energy than I currently have to expend on something at this moment. I guess I can’t party like I used to! So, here I am limping my way [...]

We awoke to a white Christmas in Louisville. Just enough snow to cover the lawns and trees. By now all my Falls of the Ohio holiday cards have been sent out. Usually, I have several designs going at once. This year, I made cards featuring snowmen, a dog I made from river delivered Styrofoam, as well as [...]

Because the work a day world had me preoccupied, it’s nice to be able to return to the river. This interaction with the Falls occurred about a week a go, but it also takes me back to the early days of this project. To stir the imagination I would challenge myself to only use materials found [...]

I was looking around the driftwood for whatever there was to find and having a good time. I found this toy giraffe head with the puffy cheeks. I also had the good fortune to watch from a distance a beaver that was cruising close to the riverbank. It’s only the second one I’ve seen out here [...]

I was walking through the woods on a sun-dappled day looking for migratory birds when I came across a new friend. We talked for a little while before introducing ourselves. Both of us remarked on the dry weather we have been having and I said that it’s official now. September was the driest ever in the commonwealth [...]

The heat and humidity remain unabated. I think this is the hottest summer I have spent at the Falls of the Ohio. Yes, there were always super hot days in the past, but this year we have had many more of them. I was excited about this weekend because I have three days off, few [...]

Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the year. Walking out my front door this morning I’m surprised by how warm and humid it is already. When I reached the Falls, I decided to take cover from the direct sun by walking along the Woodland Trail. All the combined vegetation produces a spicy [...]

Reading the old journals from the exploration period…you can hear the authors’ amazement in trying to describe the overwhelming abundance that once existed here. If you came across a flock of passenger pigeons numbering in the billions and as you watched them cross the sky like rolling smoke until they collectively blotted out the sun’s light how would [...]
