Through photography I enjoy capturing and sharing the magnificent beauty of God’s handiwork in nature. Photography is an escape into the world of nature away from the demands of a busy schedule. Friends can tell you that I lose all track of time when I photograph a beautiful landscape or flower. I enter into a world of quiet serenity and reflection in a field of flowers, listening to the gurgling sounds of water rushing down a stream or sitting beside a cool lake. My interest in photography was originally inspired by my dad as I tagged along with him in his work as a photo journalist for a small Southeastern Colorado newspaper. Our family lived in an agricultural community so Dad wrote stories about farming and ranching operations. I began my own photography years later when my wife and I discovered the joy of photographing wild flowers in Yosemite National Park. I cannot always escape to the mountains or remote places but nature photographs help me take minute vacations as I imagine quiet moments viewing the beauty of flowers and landscapes. I hope you can find moments of serenity as you tour my photo gallery.
