WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE I'm happy to share these images with you...I hope to inspire you to appreciate the real beauty of the natural world that is all around us. All the birds and animals that I photograph are in their natural environment...I always strive to capture good detail, color, and sometimes action. Through these images I hope to awaken a concern for all of us, to love, protect, and preserve the birds, animals, and their habitat, of this precious planet that we share with them.

I am a retired tradesman, the father of three boys and a grandfather to four girls and two boys. I spent the last 32 years in the country on an acreage just west of Medicine Hat, Alberta in Canada; I have however just recently moved back to the city. The prairies, coulees, river valleys, and Cypress Hills of southern Alberta is where I grew up and where I do most of my nature photography. The love of nature and the natural world started at a very early age for me. My favorite boyhood memories growing up were family outings in the countryside, fishing trips, and visits to our relatives on the farm. I was always off exploring the countryside trying to catch every living creature to make it my pet. Fishing, hunting, backpacking, camping, and canoe trips, all became a big part of my adolescent life...these activities led to a real appreciation of nature and ultimately my photography hobby. At first I was only a casual user with 35 mm SLR film cameras, but became more serious with the advancement of digital photography. I am self taught and have become very passionate about bird photography; which goes hand in hand with one of my other passions, and that is "birding". I have been photographing birds since 2011 and launched this website in 2013. Although my main focus is on birds I am starting to add all other wildlife, as well as landscape to my photographic endeavors. Now that I'm retired I have time to travel so my nature photography has taken me to the west coast of Canada, Arizona, and a recent trip to Australia and New Zealand.
