In late 2016 I picked up my camera for the first time in years. I had always been interested in photography; however, my busy schedule and other life events didn't allow me much time. So...in my retirement I decided to ignite my passion and my desire to create beautiful and meaningful photographs. The most important thing to me is that the photos bring joy to myself and others. I enjoy the camaraderie of Flickr and also the WOW factor of so many of the photographs presented here.
