Thanks for stopping by. I might have just returned from a summer’s fishing excursion, my camera in tow, of course.
I invite you to check out my blog to share in my experiences throughout the seasons. And please browse through the portfolio pages for a sampling of my photographic images and the way I see the world around us. Life is short, and there is beauty and big adventures awaiting for us all!
From my blog:
Into the sunrise, as we transition to fall
Somewhere in the distance the call of autumn can be heard. It’s faint and far-off right now, but it’s noticeable in small ways. There’s a change in the slant of the sun, and the air has a different smell. Some days dawn with warmth, and others have a cool chill – a sign of the…
A Minnesota bicycling adventure with larger than life roadside attractions
We recently completed a four-day bicycling trip in Minnesota – the BAM (Bicycling Around Minnesota). It was a fun and challenging four days of riding. This year’s ride had 250 cyclists, ranging in age from 24 to 84, all coming together to be immersed in the scenery and sights of the northwestern lakes of Minnesota.…

A little about me:
I became a photographer later in life and have enjoyed the journey of seeing and appreciating the world around me. I have lived in Kansas, Washington, and now Minnesota and Wisconsin, and have learned that there is beauty to be found everywhere. My photographic images have been exhibited in these states and have been seen in numerous publications. In 2008 I was selected as an Artist in Residence by the National Park Service, exploring the Herbert Hoover birthplace site in West Branch, Iowa.
All of my images are available as original archival quality prints, and also as distinctive and beautifully designed notecards and greeting cards. In the Twin Cities area my cards can be found at Regina’s Fine Candies and Gerten’s Garden Center. Each year I offer a collection of holiday cards and desk calendars for the upcoming year. I hope you will check back for further information and updates.
