I have been a nature buff since I was 10 years old. I love the water and grew up with a family who traveled a lot – Europe, Asia, and Africa, although I was too small to remember much.
I think I take after my Dad who also loves photography and my Uncle Jack, who used to work for National Geographic years ago. When I was 16 years old, my dad and mom gave me an OM-10 camera with attachments for Christmas. I would take pictures of whatever I could and waste a lot of film I’m sure. Time and technology sure flies by. I graduated to Canon Powershot in May 2004 and am looking to advance again.
I am an avid John Denver fan and have always appreciated his songs about mother nature. I tie a lot of my visual inspirations to his songs. I love the ocean, wildlife, clouds, flowers, birds, mountains, canyons, lights, sunrises, and sunsets.
Thank you for letting me share my photos with you.

While I was uploading my rock photos, I thought of this verse. / The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge. My shield and the horn of my salvation, …
Peace, the quiet serenity of floating endlessly over ocean …
The color purple….lobelia, irises, robes, mourning, majesty and remarkable
In the footsteps of my fathers….
