This bird made me smile for several reasons: 1) Eagle Marsh is maybe a quarter mile from Lutheran Hospital, the competitor to the health system this medical helicopter flies for. Watch for predator behavior. 2) Some of my best work years were assisting the crew of the Samaritan helicopter service line with communication and marketing needs. Such great memories and I'm looking at you, all tagged here with this image! 3) I always stop and say a silent prayer for all onboard when a medical helicopter flies overhead. This day was no exception and I hope all went on to do well. © John Gevers Photography

I believe this is the same White-tailed doe who comes out to visit me most days I'm at the Marsh. Most are skittish; she never is. Just very curious. Yes, I talk to her and named her 'Clarice'. © John Gevers Photography

Most Indiana native plants have root systems that grow up to 70% of the plants total length underground, meaning that we see only 30% of the plant when viewing only its above ground section. These roots, however, aren't. It's a tree past its prime flipped upside down to mimic what it probably looks like underground.
