About The Photographer

Cropped copy of photograph 2
As a young woman I always had an interest in photography, but as I grew older the demands of a nursing career and a single mother did not allow me to explore this field. Later in life when I married my high school sweetheart, the dream opened-up. At first my interest was old barns and old buildings that will soon disappear but soon would include wildlife and airshow photography. We both find this exciting. Seeing how wildlife interacts shows the character values that would improve the human race.
