"Sharing the Journey with photography....nature images captured that inspire and share feelings of love and friendships with special focus on my home state of beautiful Michigan. Our beloved Lake Michigan is featured in this background image "Reflections of Lake Michigan". As my skills and experiences increase, I find myself being more involved as a nature explorer and the need to pass this deep interest onto my grandchildren. Take a Closer Look is title of a book I'm working on with Barbara Saunders Sims ( national consultant on early childhood education) with goal to inspire and motivate kids to explore nature and document (even write stories) about their adventures.
