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!

A Rose is a Rose

A rose is a rose ...... Not so! If you've ever grown roses, you know that some bushes are more vigorous and hearty than others. Some are more prone to disease and bugs. And when it comes to photography, they're not all the same. I, personally, have my preferences when it comes to roses, but the particular roses I like in the garden don't photograph well. Here are some that do! Imagine the smell of a boquet in your house and you'll be taken away to a distant place . . .

    The photos of the white ones with the water droplets are gorgeous. You are amazing. If I ever write a cookbook, will you photo for it an accept payment in baked goods? =D
