About Me
I got my first DSLR to take pictures at my son's wedding. Little did I know that the camera would become for me a teacher and friend. My camera taught me to see God's world in new ways, to make the ordinary extraordinary. There are times when you hear God's voice speaking singularly and clearly and many times those times are when I have my camera in my hand.
In my jobs before retirement as a teacher and professor, writing was not the main focus of my job. I never thought of myself as a writer so I am amazed that this website is that way God has led me to share the words he has spoken to me.
In addition to this website I have a Portfolio website with just images. I also have an older website that includes my past blog blog with longer posts and more images and some other things I have created.

My husband and I have taken 6 road trips. For each trip I make a website with resources I used in planning the trip and then during the trip. Each one has our itinerary and a journal in the form of a blog with an entry for each day. You can find links to these sites below.

I have made and printed a portfolio book using the Blurb Printing Service. In addition to the printed book I can also have a PDF version of the book. The PDF version below is of lower resolution and with rather stronger colors than the book.
