Photo of the Week: Let’s Go For a Run!

September 1, 2019 By Deborah Edwards-Onoro

young girl holds on to the leash of her dog as she gleefully runs.

After enjoying delicious food at a lovely small family-owned Colombian restaurant on the outskirts of Dayton, Ohio, I discovered this fun-loving sculpture near the parking lot.

In my mind, I can envision the young girl and her dog running through their yard on a summer’s day.

Sadly, no information about the artist who created the sculpture

Still, what a wonderful sculpture to see!

Photo of the Week: Teller’s of Hyde Park in Cincinnati

When I looked down the street from our parking spot in Hyde Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, I quickly noticed the unmistakable tall columns of a bank building.

You’ve probably seen them as well in older communities.

Banks built in the United States in the 1800’s and early 1900’s often included tall columns in the front facade, influenced by Greek and Roman architecture.

Photo of the Week: Black-necked Stilt at Howard Marsh

July 22, 2018 By Deborah Edwards-Onoro

Black-necked Stilt wading amongst grasses in the blue marsh waters

One of the most distinctive shorebirds, I found the Black-necked Stilt lazily wading along the flats of Howard Marsh, a newly created coastal wetland on Lake Erie’s southern shore, near Bono, Ohio.

A graceful bird with the most remarkable looking pink spindly legs, the Black-necked Stilt has a glossy black back, slender black bill, and a white underbody.

It’s one of my favorite shorebirds since it’s a shorebird I can identify easily! Not like the sandpipers where I struggle to figure out what I’m looking at.

Talking with other birders in the area, I learned several Black-necked Stilts are nesting at the marsh, though I didn’t see any of the young birds.
