Northern Michigan is home has been home to me most of my life, and it is a beautiful part of this country without a doubt. I have raised a family here, worked, played, laughed and cried here. I have worn many career hats as well as a business owner for several years. All great learning experiences that have now brought me to this age and time in life. Time to continue to learn about the things I enjoy, and retire. I love photography even though I am not very good at it, I love nature and what is possible to capture behind the lense of a camera. I was active on flickr some time ago then my interrests shifted and time ran short, so now I hope to find the time to be an active member of flickr once again.
