My goal is to reveal the beauty in our natural surroundings through my photography. I grew up in the piedmont of North Carolina where I learned to appreciate wildflowers, wildlife, and rural landscapes while wandering the family farm. My drive to explore leads me across NC and surrounding states where I captures intimate landscapes to wide vistas.
For several years I was active in the Sierra Club as an outings leader and I grew to understand that we all have a responsibility to preserve our natural environment for future generations. My wish is that my photographs of parks and wild areas will move us all to protect these special places. Look below to see more information about the environment and some of my favorite photography and hiking locations in NC. *

*Photographing our natural environment is my passion. That's because I marvel daily at the beauty that surrounds us. I have been fortunate to meet people who volunteer to make a difference in how our natural environment is appreciated and protected. I have discovered the subjects of many of my photographs through my association with the people in these groups. There are so many opportunities to reach out to assist in the protection of the environment we value so much. My efforts are very small as I am not presently active in all the groups in which I hold membership, but all of them are important to me. If we all do a little bit, together we can make a difference.
I have also included a list some of my favorite North Carolina parks and protected areas. Check out some of these links. You will experience a mini vacation just viewing the websites. Oh, and if you have questions about some of these, contact me. I enjoy talking about my favorite causes and places.
