I recently switched to digital and have totally rediscovered a cherished old hobby. I like Flickr as a way to share my pics with all of my friends. And I feel so inspired by all of the incredible talent on Flickr!

I'm not always "artsy" with my photos -- sometimes, it's just a shot of something I want to remember.

The travel bug has bitten me - baaaaad! And I'm taking more trips (Flickr is a great travel planning resource since there are pictures of just about everything everywhere here!). I'm also taking more photos locally and having a blast doing it.

Because I do use this site as sort of an online scrapbook, if you're looking for anything specific, like landscapes or flowers, or closeups, you may want to click on "more sets" for easier browsing.

I've had the wonderful opportunity to visit several of our national parks and monuments, including:

Yellowstone

Rocky Mountain

Grand Teton

Mt. Ranier

Mt. St. Helens

Bryce Canyon

Zion

Great Smoky Mountains
