Today I heard the river calling on a spectacular day at the Falls of the Ohio. Apparently, I was not the only one who heeded this call and the park is already full of people upon my arrival. I checked out the fossil cliffs and quickly determined that there were too many people at this [...]

The stars were in alignment and I got to spend a nice Earth Day at the Falls of the Ohio. It was a little cold and windy…nothing layering in sweat shirts couldn’t handle! I found so many interesting objects and spaces that I filled up my camera’s memory card. I now find myself with a [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

A gray day with the Ohio River rising and I’m exploring this huge driftwood mound created by last spring’s flooding. Over the last few months this section has seen other minor floods and even a fire. It’s interesting to me to see how the river has a leveling effect as it flows under and moves [...]

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. [...]
