ABOUT ME

I've always appreciated that no two moments in life are ever exactly the same and when it comes to nature, that truth strikes me even more profoundly. 

Living in Aromas, on the Central Coast of California I have an opportunity to observe, enjoy, learn about and photograph the wide variety of beauty it has to offer; and, while I have a passion for bird photography, all of nature catches my eye and often my lens.

I'm also an amateur astrophotographer and love to sit under the stars, when coastal weather permits, listening to the sounds of nature at night; or to be in my observatory exploring and photographing the beauty of the universe itself.
 

Thank you so much for stopping in……
