Visions....
... and Aspirations
I have always loved creating things that are visually pleasing. I dabble in pastel painting, and have loved experimenting with amateur photography since my teens. I strive for improvement in my photographic skills, always recognizing that I have a long way to go. I had initially begun a private gallery site, but realized that there are already various websites out there displaying my photography, so decided, instead, to provide links to those pages.

What follows....
The links to the left will take you to various sites on the web where you may view a sampling of my photos. Some pictures are better than others, of course, and you may find repeats at some of the sites. Most of the sites allow you to leave a comment if you wish. Some sites, also, are more up to date than others. Above all, I hope you enjoy them!
Some Notes: The Care2 link, for some reason, no longer takes the viewer directly to my photo albums, but bumps the browser back to my "Sharebook" page. You can see some of my flower photos by clicking on the Photo link under the "Shares" column on the right. Of the sites on the left, the DeviantArt site or the Photojournal will probably be updated most often.
About the images....
The images often reflect, to a large extent, the core of my own being. You will find images of nature, animals, and the places and things that touch my soul on a daily basis. Animals are a special love of mine, and I strive in my animal photography to show the spirit of the being captured by my camera. I hope I'm succeeding, at least in part, in that effort. I also love flowers, and spent a lot of time during the growing season wandering the fields and gardens with my camera.
