My Work

When it comes to exploring Nature, no one can say they've seen it all. There are just too many Kingdoms, so many Species. For a nature photographer like me, this means endless opportunities for a wandering fancy. Given a camera and a heart for discovery I can expose pieces of our planet at my own pace. Not all of it, just whatever I want or can, wherever I am. Enjoy my collections and discover a little bit of Nature's beauty for yourself - Images worth seeing, pictures worth having, pieces of a planet worth saving.

Landscapes

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."

- Marcel Proust
French novelist (1871 - 1922)

The endangered Ghost Orchid only grows in the US, in south Florida, and only on trees above swamps.

Wildflowers

"Plants give us oxygen for the lungs and for the soul."

Mammals

"The real importance of saving such things as Florida Panthers is not so much that we need panthers as that we need to save them. We need to exercise and develop the human attributes required in saving panthers; for these are the attributes so necessary in working out our own survival."

- Ian McMillian

Bugs and Stuff

“Let us be grateful for the bees and fireflies—small wonders that keep the world blooming and glowing, our tiny guardians of life and light.”
