Artist and lover of science. On the Board for the new Ohio Feminist Art Museum. I am a large scale chalk artist, bird watcher, and photographer. All of my pets are rescues; they rule my heart. Photos are my own.
My sweet lab, Sadie. She was diagnosed with a tumor in her bladder. It is inoperable. 11 months and counting since the bad news. Every day is a gift. #dogcancer #dogs #dogfamily #photography #bwphotography #cancerisawful

Lake Erie birding visit. Large flocks Canada geese, ruddy ducks, gadwall ducks, and SWANS. (About a dozen bald eagles too!) nice to see the Ottowa National Wildlife Refuge open after the shut down.

Vermillion Flycatcher - a gorgeous little bird. I took this photo at Sweetwater Wetlands Park in Tucson, Arizona. Surrounded by desert, the water at this park attracts so many species of birds and animals.

We aren’t having a vividly colored fall here due to lack of rain. One sugar maple in my yard is trying to be its stunning fall self. Have a good day. #fall #mapletree #leafpeepers #fallleaves #fallcolor #backyard

Photo I took of a bridge being built in Columbus, OH. I was hoping the newspaper here would publish it. They liked it, but it wasn’t news, so they couldn’t do anything with it. I still like it!

Happy #flyday. Hundreds of sandhill cranes flying in to rest. Local birders pointed us here and there wasn’t anything going on when we arrived. About an hour later we started to hear them and the sky was thick with them!

ICM, in camera movement images can have a dreamy feel to them. It’s one of the reasons why I love shooting like this. Not so literal that your mind can bring more to it. #photography #dreams #landscape #icmphotography #summer #september

#caturday. I lost this little man this summer to an aggressive bone cancer. He was SUCH a good cat - raised with dogs and thought he was a dog too! He would give a low growl at the postman and any delivery guy in full back up to his dog sisters. Otherwise CHILL. #cats #photography #kitty #guardian
