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.

Pretty Bird



I found these older photos I had that I had never shared.  Unfortunately in some it was a very overcast day, but the birds were species I don't always see.....except the Cardinal of course! Enjoy!


This male Cardinal kept turning his head looking at me trying to figure out what I was doing.


This bird is a Dickcissel.  He gets his name from the sound he makes....dick,dick,cissssel.
This is a male Blue Grossbeak.  One of the prettiest colored birds I have seen in the Midwest.
A young male Summer Tanager getting his adult colors.  I had to laugh at him, I was trying to get a photo of him in a tree about 20 feet away when he flew over right in front of me so I could get a closer shot.  Wish all birds would do that!
Just another photo of my Cardinal friend.
