I have always enjoyed being outdoors and watching wildlife. 
Raised in Colorado and Florida I was exposed to nature very early on.  We spent many weekend's camping in the mountains, rock hunting, exploring the forest, wetlands and swamps,  swimming and snorkeling in the ocean.  I learned to appreciate all that nature has to offer  and not to take it for granted,  I shared my love of nature with my children and encouraged them to learn and try new things. Now that they are grown, I have turned my passion for nature and wildlife into photography.
