exploring nature’s infinite connections
Warning: Unfiltered, unorganized thoughts shall follow.... I am pretty surprised that I don't live closer to the ocean. For as much time as I could spend there, I am probably suited to live in a sea shell. Then again, how would one keep the inside of a sea shell...
This last trip to Little Cayman was the first time I ever spent some decent time with Stingrays. We saw them perhaps on 4 or 5 dives - essentially whenever we were diving near a sandy area. One thing I was amazed with is the grace with which they glide over the...
As I was editing some images this morning, all I kept thinking in my head is "Thank you glaciers for providing such nice subject matter!" It was a reminder that the Great Lakes region is filled with rugged coastlines courtesy of the glaciers that receded from here....

This past week I had planned to spend a day down at Magee Marsh in Ohio with hopes to catch part of the bird migration underway. This area is a well known migrant trap, where many birds stop to rest and feed before making the flight across Lake Erie. Birding...
