As you can see, I love to capture the beauty of Nature, both grand and intimate. Photography brings me awareness and gratitude; I see more when I have my camera in my hand, as well as when I look at the work of other photographers.
I consider all my images to be gifts from Nature, especially the frog photographs. They are Pacific Tree Frogs, and they come to my rose garden in the summer and fall. I do not manipulate either the frogs or their portraits.
Thank you for visiting my Gallery; and, as the Navaho say, “May you walk in Beauty”

I live in the woods on a rural island in Puget Sound with my husband and two cats. Our children are grown and we are enjoying our “golden years”.
Photography has always been on my “Things To Do While I Still Can” list, and I took it up as a serious hobby in the spring of 2004. I am a detail oriented person by nature, so close-up images are especially appealing to me.
Most importantly, I use my camera as a mindfulness tool; it is a way to quiet the chatter in my head, pay attention, and lose myself in the beauty of nature. My second goal is to express the beauty that I see, and the gratitude that I feel, as faithfully as I am able. Hopefully, as my skills improve, my work will become more and more consistent with the vision of my heart.
Thank you for visiting my Gallery; and, as the Navaho say, “May you walk in Beauty”.
