Welcome!

I'll state right up front that I am not a professional photographer. In my opinion, a pro not only cares about photographic lighting, composition and quality, they also care about and know their equipment. I care a great deal about the first three things- not so much the last thing: I have a wonderful camera and the most I ask of it is that when I point and click, it takes pretty photos. Beyond that, I know little about it. I am a hobbyist and likely always will be.

But I do love capturing a moment with my camera, and in particular, the tiny moments in life, the ones you have to zoom in on to look at closely. This is what you will see in this journal. My art will still be contained at my other blog site. Approachable Art.

Nature is one of my favorite subjects. I spend a good deal of time outside, scanning the skies, the trees and the ground for interesting tidbits or animal activities. Here is some of what I've captured. Clicking on any photo will take you to a larger, hi-res version. Many of my photos are best viewed in this way.

Birds are an endless fascination to me. You'll see quite a few of them in this blog.

Insects captivate me as well, particularly dragonflies and butterflies.

Flowers and trees will be well represented here, too.

And I photograph textures obsessively.






Until next time!
