Thank you to my friend Mary Binford for getting my portrait when we were "on safari" tracking down birds and butterflies at the Hagerman Wildlife Center in Sherman, Texas.
We have spent many happy hours shooting together and enjoying nature!

Photography has been an important part of my life for many, many years and more-so since doing digital photography.
Love sharing photos and it is definitely a stress reliever.
And now, being retired from critical care nursing... it consumes much of my daily life in a simple way.
Having lost our home in the tornado the day after Christmas 2015, we have downsized.
Along with that came a desire to plant a garden with many native plants and so much of my photography now takes place in that little cottage garden... my "happy place"!
I learn something new nearly every day through photography and have met so many wonderful people along the way!

I have gotten away from posting to Pbase but I need to return as I do miss the world-wide interaction on this site!
You have shown me so many places I will never see. I love traveling through other photographers' eyes!
