“Nature’s gifts often come wrapped in the unexpected. Although I may have a plan or at least a wish, nature’s abundance always takes me beyond anything I can create in my imagination. I’ve learned to just be present, and remain open to what nature may offer in this very moment. As a nature photographer, I feel gratified to offer “windows of nature,” images that enhance awareness of conservation, enrich the lives of others, and speak to the power of stewardship for a more meaningful tomorrow.”
