Urban Refuge - nature in a tiny woods near the mouth of the Niagara River
Screech Owls, Coopers hawks, migratory birds all come to this tiny woods in Fort Erie, Ontario. A piece of woods that may not be here much longer as urban sprawl continues to take over Southern Ontario. This location was an amusement park for Buffalo tourists about 100 years ago but nature took it back over in that short time. This is my first attempt to give a bit of narrative in a video that we filmed over a couple of months in the spring of 2020. Hopefully I will learn to be more comfortable in front of the camera but you have to start somewhere.

Beach Boneyards at Botany Bay Plantation
Every year we tried to get to Edisto Beach on the South Carolina coast. Camping at Edisto State Park gave us a great location for day trips out to places like Botany Bay Plantation and the beach boneyard that was a landscape photographer’s dream.

Kayaking in sparkleberry Swamp
Kayaking in a swamp on the north-west end of Lake Marion in South Carolina. This was one of our favorite nature spots, only a couple hours from our place near Greenville. Pretty much any time of year this area was worth a paddle. Summers could be a little too hot, but spring and fall were great times to look for owls, osprey, ibis, herons and even a pair of limpkin. The alligators and turtles were abundant, and the scenery was just out of this world.
