My interest in photography started when my first granddaughter was born in 2000. All things nature has become one of my favorite interests. I love the changing seasons, especially autumn. I have a new appreciation for our cold but beautiful Midwest winters. I have been fortunate to be in the right place, at the right time for that special shot. In my 'spare' time, I also create scrapbooks for my 5 grandchildren. No matter where I go, I always have my camera! I hope you will enjoy viewing my photos as much as I have enjoyed...more
