Description
This fir tree was the object of a large pileated woodpecker's interest a few years back but I haven't seen a woodpecker around lately until this female appeared. Woodpeckers can help maintain a tree's health by ridding the tree of the insects. This one wood put its head sideways to listen, then peck. It had a much more delicate touch than the large one that had come before. That one would bang and take out large chunks of the tree.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
