My hobby is photography.

Nature photography is what especially draws me. Flowers, bees, butterflies, birds, you name it.

Minnesota abounds in a variety of natural settings ranging from forests to public gardens to prairie areas just waiting to be documented by camera and journal. This website is my way of documenting what I discover and sharing it with others. Consider it a sort of commonplace journal devoted to nature. I hope not only to share my images and observations but to also point you in the direction of others who generously share their own images, observations and expertise. There are a lot of people who have far more skill than I with the camera and those that have made documenting the natural world their life’s work.

So, please sit back, pour a cup and meander through this ‘journal’ the way you might through a forest, pausing now and then to take a closer look and marveling at what you can find outside your back door. Enjoy!
