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.

My Christmas Vacation

I wish I could say I went to some exotic locale and took all these photos of wild animals, but sorry, I did not.   I spent a day at Brookfield Zoo instead.  Not many people there so it was perfect.  Did run into a few lake effect snow squalls but overall, it was just a cold day. 

Hope you enjoy the sample of animals I seen.  Visit there sometime if you can.  It's a great place to see some animals you will never see or photograph otherwise.
A Gambel's Quail.  They are found in the desert southwest.

An Artic Penguin.

A pair of wolves.

An Artic Tern.  He's watching for fish to be thrown into the water so he can get them before the penguins.

Another shot of the Gambel's Quail.

A pair of Kookaburras.

A haunting shot of a Snow Leopard.

This pair of Meercats were posing so cute, I had to take their photo!

This snake caught my eye when I seen him so eloquently draped over this branch.  He was gorgeous.
