Nature photography has been such a great escape for me over the last 10 or so years, and has really complimented my more recent interest in birding. NW Montana born and raised, I have been lucky enough to live in the portland, OR area for these last few years until recently moving back home.

Those of you who know what "brodmann's 17" means probably have a sense of the career path I have chosen and love so much - even if it leaves me much too little time to get out and enjoy nature's beauty.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and don't worry, I know I won't be quitting my day job any time soon.

(special thanks to all you amazingly talented nature photographers who keep me coming back to flickr night after night in awe of your vision and skill)
