I'm taken, retired, and loving my life, family and friends. I'm a retired police officer, a grandmother of seven beautiful children and very active outdoors. Everyday is a new adventure with my passion for photography, especially in the wildlife and nature genre as I hike at least four times a week with my camera. I live in NW Michigan, USA, where there's a lake, stream or river around every corner that provide peacefulness and serenity, and an abundance of wildlife, birds and pristine scenery. Sailing is another love... the breeze in my face, the sound of nothing but the water lapping at the hull, aquatic animals and fish and occasional birds. God created a beautiful world!!
