Beaver Creek Wetland Association Calendar
I was lucky enough to have my art selected for a local calendar!
For the 2024 Calendar, my art was selected for the Cover and the January page!
Image Name: Wetland Calendar Cover Pearl's Fen Moon and Stars. Pearl's Fen is a wetland park with a boardwalk. A beautiful little place to surround yourself in the sights and sounds of nature. This nightscape image is a blue hour blend. I captured the wildflower foreground and the crescent moon at blue hour, just after the sun had set. At full dark, after the moon went down, I photographed the sky with the Milky Way. However, on this summer night humidity and light pollution worked together to pull a sheer curtain over the sky. Adding the moon back into the stary sky brought back some magic to the image.
Image Name: Wetland Calendar January Siebenthaler Fen Frosty Night. Siebenthaler Fen is a wildlife park with a boardwalk. A great place learn about and enjoy the surrounding wetland life. This image is a composite of a sky from a nearby park (also within the same wetland park system) and a morning blue hour foreground, right before sunrise on the first day of spring in 2023. It was a frosty dark walk to the bridge over the water. I saw racoon footprints left on the frost covered boardwalk, and a beaver or muskrat swimming home after a night of foraging. The walk out in the rising sun offered bird songs and a first glimpse of spring.

For the 2025 Calendar, my art was selected for the July page!
July is a fantastic time of year to see fireflies in Ohio. In fact, I took this photo at Pearl’s Fen from the boardwalk looking into the trees on July 2nd.
My family joined me and we watched the fireflies dance in the trees for at least an hour. A magical night being serenaded by fireflies.
Fens are ground water wetlands with peaty soil and unique biodiversity.
