I’m Elizabeth.

I’ve had a camera in my hand as long as I can remember. It’s my attempt to capture the beauty I see – whether in the ordinary, or in the extraordinary. Plus, it offers a good excuse to take lots of breaks while hiking. ;)

I am partial to autumn, nature, the Oregon coast, small details, waterfalls, waves, and weimaraners.

I have a daily photoblog @ http://retinalperspectives.typepad.com/retinalperspectives/

Thank you for looking – and I hope you enjoy the images!

Note: Any proceeds from cat/dog images will go to my local animal shelter or weimaraner rescue organization.
