scintillating skies II

Last year, I went to two spectacular fireworks events–Red, White and Boom and Thunder in the Valley, which proven to be some the best Ohio pyrotechnic displays to date! I had not been to Red, White and Boom since 1998 and Nelsonville’s Thunder in the Valley was a new charm! Here is a glimpse of those evenings under the scintillating skies in 2011.

Forgotten Wonders Beneath the Trees • summer series I

This is the second installment of a five part series that I captured between mid-June through early July of 2011. The diversity and  richness of species starts to unfold here in Ohio within the Summer season. Boletes and a variety of Agarics start to come up, bringing a whole new realm of colorful enchantment to the Forests themselves. Much of my time was focused in the Hocking Hills Valley region and Clear Creek Metro Park system last year which always seemed promising everytime I had gone. I even seemed to find a few critters along the way that made the trips more magical. Today is the first day of Summer and one of the best Seasons to get out enjoy Ohio's lush array and diversity of Fungi species!

delicate balance VII

This is a personal series of Ohio wildlife I shot from spring 2010 to the current spring season. All captured moments where taken at various Ohio Nature Preserves, State and Metro Parks. This is part of an ongoing series that I have done over the years in the honor of Ohio's great wealth of beautiful wildlife species, flora, plants and fungi. Enjoy!
