Welcome!

I decided to start a blog to showcase my interest in photography. I've been an avid amateur photographer for years, but decided last summer to take the plunge and buy a Nikon d90. I previously owned a Nikon 8008 SLR (purchased in 1993), and had worn out two digital point-and-shoot cameras. It was definitely time to move into more sophisticated equipment. The d90 and I have been partnered for almost a year and I love the instant feedback I get from going digital. I've added a number of lenses to my collection, and each lens has allowed me to expand my repertoire of what I can shoot. Next lens purchase will be a wide angle - after our family trip to the Rockies, I realized how vital a wide angle lens is to the serious photographer's collection.

On this blog you'll find photo shoots ranging from wildlife, nature, people, pets, and holidays (with a little bit of everything else thrown in). Unfortunately, due to people copying my work (yes, someone copied a photo I posted on FB and posted it elsewhere without citing the rightful owner), I've had to post my logo and copyright on my photos. However, if you really like something I've done, I can get a copy of it for you from the professional photofinisher I use. Of course, there would be a nominal fee. If you find a picture that you'd like copy of, let me know. I can get copies anywhere from 4X6 to canvas wall hangings.

Thanks for visiting - come back often!

Colorado Vacation

Our annual family vacation took us to the Rocky Mountains last month. John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" is one of my favorite songs and took on a whole new meaning with this vacation. The scenary is stunning, the smell of evergreens and pines is refreshing, and the stars are heavenly. If you haven't been, you must go! This is the first of several posts with pictures from our vacation. Sit back and enjoy!

    Hi Suzie - The first picture was a sculpture on the sidewalk in Lyons, CO - an artsie town. I thought catching the hole in the middle of the sculpture was the most attractive angle.
    The polarizing filter makes ALL the difference for blue sky!
