As time passed I started exploring birds outside of my backyard, went on birding vacations and field trips. Along the way I became interested in making this backyard a haven for any wildlife that might find it's way here, and had it certified with the National Wildlife Federation. Please visit My Backyard Wildlife Habitat and Garden pages also.

After a couple of years I bought my first camera and became interested in photographing birds, butterflies, flowers, etc. and set up this website to share with others. You may follow along by clicking on the "NEXT" button at the end of each page, or for your convenience, links to all my pages and photographs are below.
