"Yellowstone Winds, they keep calling me back again.
'Come here to me, my friend,' they whisper to my soul..."
~ Bill Staines

I am a sixth generation Montana girl. I am an avid observer of wildlife and nature. I'm a total Yellowstone National Park junkie. Other frequent stomping grounds are The National Bison Range, the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge and Glacier National Park. However, I can be found stomping around just about anywhere where natural beauty can be found.

I grew up in Anaconda, Montana and currently live in Lolo, Montana. I enjoy being minutes away from possibilities for natural photo ops.

I made a brief foray into the world of photography as a teenager (shooting with a 35mm Pentax SuperProgram SLR) then picked it up again about five years ago. I now spend as much time as I can, but not as much as I'd like, capturing images of nature. I enjoy shooting everything from panoramic landscapes to wildlife to super macros.

In the last couple years I've also become an avid birder. I'm still new to birding, still learning, don't have a very long "life list" but I'm enjoying the process tremendously.

I'm the very proud mother of a bright and caring 10 year old young man. My profile photo was taken by him when he was five. He's a firm believer in full zoom.

I appreciate everyone who takes a few moments to look at my images and especially those who take the time to comment.

"Honor the spirit of this land we walk upon,
Hear the wild land’s healing song,
Heed the gift that we’ve been given,
Pass It On..."
