I like nature photography, hiking in the woods, near lakes and am always learning about nature. My backyard is a certified wildlife habitat. I also garden with three raised beds…..flowers and vegetables.

This fern in my back yard tells me that in nature…. there are standouts …. But they do it with a quiet confidence…..

Sitting on my patio I noticed this statue lit up in a way that really showed a moment of peace and quiet in our busy lives. Remember to pause and enjoy the small moments in life…… they are magical. #ilovephotography #

I never planted these crocuses but these 5 blooms come back every year for the last ten years. They have become my reminder of the rebirth of spring and the magic in life. Enjoy the beauty of this spring. #ilovenature #ilovephotography #naturesmagic

I caught a view of this large beaver during a sunset hike along a river in my area. He was cute going about his daily activities while I noticed a heart leaf on the ground right in front of him. This reminded me of how much I love nature and photography! I hope you enjoy this pic as much as I do!! 😎

Three pictures(each one zoomed in closer). I met this large beaver on a hike on 2-7-26. He was active at sunset and I was on a bridge above him. When I looked at the photograph at home I noticed a heart leaf directly in front of of him and it reminded me of how much I love nature and photography.

I captured this moment of chaos at the bird feeder. Small moments in time can bring us so much joy if we just take time to feel it! #ilovenature #ilovephotography #nature

Captured this Starling running across a rail and eating snow as it went quickly across the rail! I froze the action with a fast shutter speed!! Nature is certainly poetry in motion. #ilovephotography #ilovenature #nature

I know I’m a day late for National Bird Day…but I just had to share this photo of a Robin that visits my pond often. This day was a snowy day and he landed on my pond owl stone….. staring straight ahead enduring the snow and living life!! Magic! #nature #lilovephotography #robin #dearbornmilchigan

Saw this Red Tailed Hawk in the distance in the woods. He had a fee failed attempts at lunch so he was just sitting and resting for a minute or two.

My view of last night’s Beaver full moon. I love the way it made this tree look against the moon.

Sometimes the road we’re are on in life is not easy to know where we are going all the tome. In life just keep moving forward and listen to your gut and you will get to where you belong. Life paths! #lightandshadow #ilovephotography #ilovenature
