I am an amateur photographer who enjoys trying to capture the beauty of nature around me at home in the Pacific Northwest. I love textures, color contrasts, and flowers.

Beyond cropping, I don't like to edit my photos much and am not a fan of enhanced colors. I think nature is pretty enough as it is.

I love listening to music while I work and love music from all decades - from Bing Crosby and Billie Holiday to the Beatles and Badfinger. So I guess anything that starts with the letter B.

I work for a local cruise travel agency and collect photos in my galleries of pretty pictures from across the USA.
