I am a retiree who recently moved to the beautiful west coast of Michigan. I have “dabbled” in photography for many years but only started pursuing it with a passion in the last couple.

I am a “purist” when it comes to my photography. There is very little, if any, editing of my photographs. I might add a bit of light to make the image more viewable but for the most part, they are as they came from the camera. I figure, why mess with what Mother Nature already thinks is perfect?!

I hope you get as much enjoyment in looking as I did in taking these shots! Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

Daddy's Girl

I told Daddy that all I wanted was a new bike. It was silly because I knew that again I’d get some of Mary’s old clothes.

In The Distance

In the distance, a voice is calling me. It sounds so far away; I can barely hear it. I try to shout back, “I’m here!” but the only thing that comes out is a muffled cry.

The Race Is On

I glanced up to the rearview mirror to see that the car had been replaced…with flashing red lights. Oh, no, I thought. An ambulance!

A Trip to the Conference Room

I wasn’t really happy that some people might have to be let go, but I could see that our group was too large and there were some who were not pulling their weight.

Ashes To Ashes

The hike had been grueling but we all knew there was no choice. It was what he would want.

The Train Whistle

“You aren’t going anywhere, you little tramp!” A hand grabbed me under my still sore chin and snapped my head up.
