Description
This is one of my favorite photographs I took of Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park. I think it's the combination of the lonesome scraggly tree with the sweeping majestic landscape that seems to epitomize what I feel about Yellowstone. I was hoping to go back this year - I don't know if I'll be able to get there, but I love the varied terrains around the park, and being able to observe the various animals.

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.
Nature, animals, beauty has always been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Modern life can drain us with its demands and imbalances. Yet when I talk a walk through the woods, see a tree that's been around for 200 or more years and has weathered storms and survived, I am in awe. I am entranced by animals' various behaviors in foraging for their food, eluding predators, dealing with rain and snow, and nurturing their young along the way. I am never bored by nature. The emergence of buds, flower and color from a stark winter's landscape still takes my breath away. I find it magical how light can change shift the mood and features of a landscape. I can look down at the ground from time to time, and see a creature I've never seen before (just lately a white-lined sphinx moth).
