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.

Spring Guests

Spring always brings an assortment of visitors to my backyard pond.  

A male Scarlet Tanager that was a beautiful vivid red.  He showed up the next day with another male with him.  I have not seen them since.  Just stopped for a drink and a bath on their journey.

Cedar Waxwing enjoying the cool water.

"Come on in, the water's fine!"

The male Cardinal who hangs around my yard.
