I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.


I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

Kingfisher triumph!

I was surprised to still see this female Ruby-throated hummingbird around in early October.  She was in the last patch of flowers I seen left.


Taking a rest before the long migration flight.




A rare glimpse at the inside of a Copper Hairstreak butterfly's wings.  These are little tiny butterflies that never  rest for a photo!


After chasing these Belted Kingfishers around for years, I finally got an opportunity to capture one when the lighting was decent.  This is a young female I found very early one morning.


If you have ever heard the loud chatter of a Kingfisher, you can imagine the noise coming from this adult females mouth.  One of the young birds was trying to land near her and she did not want him there.  I loved  that I was able to catch her in this pose.  Was worth the wait!
