Like the creatures that dwell in our wilderness areas, my natural habitat is any place covered by wide-open sky. I've always been an outdoorsman and avid hiker. Now I'm lucky enough to have excellent camera gear to carry with me on hikes.

Sharing my outdoor experiences with anyone who would listen is something I've always tended to do...to a fault. I finally realized that it was better to share these experiences photographically rather than verbally.
