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 [...]

I met my friend the “Professor” by the old cottonwood tree that has been turned into a hang-out of sorts for the local teenagers. I don’t get to see him as often as I would like to…so the time we spend together is meaningful for me. Usually, we pick a topic to converse about and [...]

For many years I’ve been beach combing at the Falls of the Ohio and I bet I’ve looked at thousands of bottles and never found one with a note in it…until now! I was going through a bag at home where I’ve stored bottles I’ve collected in the park when I noticed one that had [...]

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 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 [...]

With the record rains and high water at the Falls of the Ohio State Park, 2011 has already become a memorable year. Of all the wildlife I have observed this Spring, the sightings of so many Eastern Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) has added to the mystique of this year. My history with this engaging turtle in [...]

Okay, by now you know that we have had our share of floods, etc…at the Falls of the Ohio. The Ohio River has gone up and down a couple of times over the past two months. This post is devoted to toy finds that I have made during the moments I could access the riverbank and [...]

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 [...]

As I write this post the Ohio River is still high and lingering due to unexpected heavy rains. I’m anxious to see what the new standard will be along the riverbanks. Until my old haunts are once again accessible, I’m forced to dip into the old archives. Here’s a selection of images made between October [...]
