Thank you all for your continued encouragement and support!  

My Mother and Father taught me to love the world around me… and if I can help others to see with new eyes and find joy by showing that beauty through photography. I have accomplished my hearts goal. Husum, WA is my childhood home and I consider home to be anywhere from Mount Adams to the Columbia River. I give thanks to my parents for their love for Nature and God, and for the years we spent immersed in nature as i grew up in this paradise.

Below are Bits of history from when I was an active business person

Several of my images have now been published in books, magazines and calendars .  Here are a few examples:

Ongoing 2015-2019 many of my images have been used at our local Mount Adams Chamber Visitor Center in White Salmon, Washington. They can often be found in magazines about The Gorge and Washington.

One image is in a coffee book titled “Wings Over Washington”. Others were used by Portland Spirit Sternwheeler in their advertising.

“Weather of the Pacific Northwest” by Cliff Mass, atmospheric scientist at University of Washington, is an excellent weather book for the Northwest, and includes a lenticular image over Mount Adams.

On his weather blog, Cliff posted about my work, calling me a “SKY POET”.  I liked that!  I am particularly fond of Lenticular clouds and have a large collection of images featuring these unusual formations, and am known on Flickr as the Queen of Lenticulars!  That bit makes me chuckle… as I know I am no queen!  But I thank my Flickr and Facebook friends for the encouragement.
