A Word from Dee Ann
The sense of peace and oneness with nature that envelops me when I am photographing is hypnotizing. Mother Nature's richness and enchantment abounds beyond imagination. Visualize the Earth's kaleidoscope of colors as beams of light bring to life one remarkable mosaic after another...This is what our natural world offers as it stimulates our senses through its tapestry of flora and fauna.
I hope my passion for capturing the spirit of our magnificent yet fragile land and wildlife kingdom will resonate within you as you journey through my windows of nature.

Biography
Dee Ann Pederson, a native of Houston, Texas USA, is a nature and wildlife photographer who enjoys sharing her passion through her images and leading photographic journeys. Her awareness and respect for nature began at a young age during family vacations to visit our national parks and natural wonders; and at the age of seventeen, Dee Ann began to cultivate her love for photography while working as a photographer's assistant. Her abundant energy and "wanderlust" have led her around the world in search of nature's splendor. She is at home in the frigid Arctic as she is in the heat of the Serengeti; nature offers her gifts independent of climate or location.
Dee Ann's images are sold as framed limited edition fine art prints through private/gallery shows and Windows of Nature web store; they have been licensed for use on clothing, and sold for editorial and commercial use, including National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic Expeditions, Yale University, Holland American Cruise Line, British Airways as well as travel books and others. For the past three years, she has had images on exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. in the collection of Nature's Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards Exhibition. She has most recently, in 2010, been recognized as one of Nature's Best Ambassadors.
