Our Feathered Friends
I like a long lens and a clear sunny day. That's when I'm happiest. Out in the woods or by the pond. Here is a little bit of what I do there.
Animal Portraits
I truly enjoy capturing images of birds and animals, wherever I can find them. Many of the creatures here, as noted, are residents of a local wildlife park. All others were just lucky enough to have wandered freely in front of my lens. I am grateful to all of them for being kind enough to allow me to capture their image for all to see.

The Everyday Beauty Of Nature
The beauty of nature is all around us. All we need to do to see it is to slow down long enough to look at the world in detail and to look for things we would never notice in our day to day lives, but are there before us, none the less. Capturing a moment in time with photography can helps us see what we otherwise would not have noticed, or fully appreciated. We can see anew the places where we live or visit everyday. That is what I try to accomplish for myself, and for others, when I photograph the everyday beauty of nature.
Sophie
I met Sophie, the Rottweiler, and her 'parents' one day at a street fair in Auburn, Washington. She was very attentive and overwhelmingly photogenic, so I took a 'few' photographs and posted them here for her owners to enjoy. That was a couple of years ago, so now I invite everyone to enjoy her photos.
