Now, if you're interested, below is my "about me".

So this Flickr thing wants me to describe myself. Where to begin? A photo would fit here, but I'll let you find it on my photostream.
Otherwise, I'm a gypsy. I treasure life, I find joy in the little things, but take setbacks hard. I'm too hard on myself but I never totally give up. I might take a long break, but I come back.
I love the great outdoors to the extent of memorizing scientific names without meaning to. I am an explorer. I believe I may have been reincarnated from explorers as my eyes often see the history of a place or thing rather than just the beauty.
I often find myself with far too many interests and ideas than one person should have. I have an education in Veterinary Technology and Natural Resources, with a specialty in Fish and Wildlife.
I love my camera, it travels where I travel, sees some of what I see, and chronicles life where I go.
My goal in life is to never wish I had done it, but to be able to tell the tale of doing so. I'm doing pretty good so far.
I have three little girls, a husband, two dogs, and a rabbit, all of which are the loves of my life.
I am a Christian, and a believer in a cosmic God. One creator, unable to be described, who made us all, I believe that we do the creators work by being the best people we can, living the best way we can, and caring for others as we care for ourselves.
I'm probably a little too blunt in my words, but I sometimes think more people should be. It's hard to be honest in a world that says you must agree with everyone even if you don't. I hate that the world is unable to have a conversation and just agree to disagree without hard feelings. It's stupid.
I try not to get immersed in shallow things, although I live for GLEE, Supernatural, and the Big Bang Theory. That's me.

I'm not a professional photographer, but I expect credit for my work if you use it. If you are using it for commercial purposes please be prepared to pay a reasonable fee.

Don't steal my work- Especially if you are a certain newspaper who has done it before.

Please contact me before using my work in any capacity. I often donate my photos to non profits.

If you'd like to purchase any photo found here please contact me. Photos are usually available up to extra large sizes and I utilize Miller's Photography for my print lab.

Thank You for your cooperation.
