Photography is more than a hobby for me. It's a passion,
the way I capture and celebrate life. In this album, I've assembled some of my favorite photographs. Through my photos you
can see how I view my surroundings and how the beauty of nature is seen through my eyes.

I don't have to go far to find something that will stop
me in my tracks and give me an excuse to explore nature's wonders. Everyday insects, birds, flowers, or trees offer
subject matter for me and my camera to investigate, and my own backyard is my favorite stomping ground.

My interest in gardening goes hand in hand with the joy I get out
of watching wildlife. Birds and insects populate my backyard, finding both food and refuge in the garden beds, shrubs
and trees. To supplement naturally occurring food sources, birds can enjoy the seed or suet feeders and drink from or frolic
in the birdbaths.
