Many of you have enjoyed my nature photography. Some of you even wanted me to publish a book of my photos that identify the critters that live in the area. So, I have revamped this site, allowing you to do just that. Feedback is, and will always be, welcome.
Lori is the family historian, I think..... I'm running out of family to do it, so I hope she is. Now she has my scrapbook of my life and times.
Just want to share with you what I see thru the lens of my cameras or the stories that made me what I am today... for better or for worse.
"Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny."

“Many believe the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind
is fear, but I believe a close second is love. With love,
there’s always an inherent danger, it’s fear. Faith is the only
emotion that can weaken one, and strengthen the other”

The reptiles and amphibians in Kentucky. Not always trying to meet new friends (Species); sometimes it's just getting over a tiny itty bitty phobia.

Basically, the photographs I've taken of the sunrises and sunset, the moon, and even an eclipse or two.
A place to put all those pictures of storm clouds and they weather we endure here in Kentucky.
