South Harvey Church, one of my favorite local historic churches to photograph, on a calm, cloudy morning earlier this month The little electric candles in the gothic windows were glowing as reliably as ever, while behind me a waning moon pierced diffusely through the light clouds that filled the dawn sky.

Sunrise at Tansky Marsh this past Thursday in Wayne National Forest. I've driven by this location countless times over the last eight years but only recently noticed it on the map. Wonderful place! I watched the blue of dawn turn to gold as the sunrise slowly approached. Finally, the daylight broke over the east hills and made its way down to the wetland's edge. A great start to the day. You can't go wrong spending the sunrise at a wetland!

Looking back to this past May in Charleston, WV, on the state capitol grounds. The golden dome of the West Virginia State Capitol has long tantalized me from the highway on the countless times I have flown by on I-77. Finally, last month, my family and I had closer look at the spectacular building and its romantic grounds. I was pleasantly surprised by just how many mature trees there were shading the whole campus. And, too, the buildings present all had their own appeal with a coherent set of styles ranging from neoclassical to art deco. With puffy clouds above, the conditions couldn’t have been more ideal!

A little bee feeding in a field of foxglove beardtongue in Eagle Creek Wildlife Area. When the hummingbirds evaded me, I turned sights on a more abundant subject: bees! The entire floodplain felt alive with bees running up and down and all around these flowers.

A blue-grey gnatcatcher the other weekend at Eagle Creek Wildlife Area. After photographing the wildlife area's numerous barns, I followed the trail as it ducked into the woods once more before exiting unto a floodplain meadow filled almost entirely with foxglove beardtongue. I saw for a moment two hummingbirds feeding from the white flowers and immediately crouched down to change my lens, but they had whizzed off farther into the field by the time I arose. I walked slowly beside to countless blooms in search of others, but only bees and birds too distant to photograph showed themselves.

In another meadow, I was excited to get a few photos of this gnatcatcher, who posed just long enough to photograph before it dashed off into the dense brush. I'll take it!

During a short-term rental photoshoot was the last place I anticipated to have one of my closest encounters with a predatory bird! I was preparing to launch my drone when a sudden thud and loud rustle prompted me to turn around. I quickly realized a hawk had landed just a dozen or so feet from me and I quietly rushed to my camera. The hawk hopped between a few low perches for a few minutes as I crouched on the driveway photographing away.

Initially, I assumed this to be a red-tailed hawk, but everything online seems to indicate it is actually a broad-winged hawk. Perhaps the first one I've photographed!

A remarkable morning at Eagle Creek Wildlife Area this past Friday. I have long anticipated making this trip to explore the numerous barns located within the wildlife area, and the experience certainly did not disappoint. The fog was dense and birdsong like a chorus as I trudged through the tallgrass for several hours photographing these wonderful landmarks.

Ash Cave was filled with a thunderous roar the other morning after week of scattered, sometimes quite heavy, rainfall. This first view from the rear of recess cave never fails to impress. I enjoy comparing this composition between the seasons and seeing how the atmosphere of the cave changes so dramatically throughout the year. Winter's icy silence long melted away, the cave is now abounding with water and framed by greenery in this lush late spring.

Several times over the last day, flood watches for Hocking County appeared on my phone, and so I determined it a fit time to visit Cedar Falls. Just as anticipated, the falls were quite full! It's always invigorating hearing the roar of the stream from the parking lot. Descending into the gorge, the sound became all-encompassing as it bounced from each an every surface. I took the customary shots and then wondered around a bit before continuing on to Ash Cave.

Robinson's Falls at a preserve in Hocking County Thursday morning, flowing well with the plentiful rainfall we've had this week. It's certainly of the most peculiar in the Hocking Hills with the narrow pocket it has carved into the sandstone.
