I am a passionate nature and wildlife photographer, with an emphasis on passionate!
I love photography and have my camera in hand each and every day. Wildlife photography requires me to slow down, pay attention and be present, while being out in nature is always restorative. If I come home from an outing with a good photo, that’s a bonus. Whether exploring near my home on Whidbey Island in Washington State or traveling elsewhere, I am always on the lookout for “the presence of wonder”.
My recent retirement has given me the freedom to unleash my curiosity and delve into learning more about nature and conservation. I enjoy volunteering with several local organizations aligned with these interests and values. I am moved to share my nature and wildlife photos with the hope that they will inspire others to notice and appreciate the beauty around us and to take good care of the Earth.
All of my wildlife photos were taken from a respectful distance with a long lens following ethical wildlife photography guidelines.
Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it!
