I like nature photography, hiking in the woods, near lakes and am always learning about nature. My backyard is a certified wildlife habitat. I also garden with three raised beds…..flowers and vegetables.

Sometimes we think we see the whole picture….. but if we just slow down and really look at something…..we may see more detail than we realized was there at first look….

My view of last night’s Beaver full moon. I love the way it made this tree look against the moon.

Sometimes the road we’re are on in life is not easy to know where we are going all the tome. In life just keep moving forward and listen to your gut and you will get to where you belong. Life paths!

Staring into the grass reeds reminds us how big nature is and how important it is to save it for future generations…we all need nature to survive.
Green grass reeds fill the frame.

Water tension and decaying leaves in the water of a vernal pond. Nature paints a beautiful picture in our mundane world in every stage of life.
