Nature Photography
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

My photography is based on the world I live in. It is your world too. We probably see the same things, but through a different lens. I hope some of my views may inspire you as well.

Creating art with my photography has become a very personal way to express something that my words cannot. It is not a popularity contest or a competition with anyone but myself. To grow, learn, and expand as a person, my work must do these things as well. My motivation has always been nature and the bounties she provides. She has become my teacher, guide, and inspiration.

November 2026 –
It’s been a spell since my last post here. Many journeys to many places have taken place over the past year. I will begin to get things caught up. I know, famous last words… But really I will.
Thanks for hanging around.

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”
~Wendell Berry
It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth – and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
