Photography allows me to share the beauty I see in the world around us. These galleries are offered for your enjoyment—take your time, browse at your leisure. I hope you find as much pleasure in viewing these images as I did in discovering and capturing them.

For these images, I strive to highlight floral beauty, without distractions.

Twittering, soaring, or simply flitting about, birds are fascinating creatures.

My goal is to show both the beauty of the birds and their immediate surroundings.

Snapshots from around the neighbourhood.

My town has managed to preserve a few, albeit small, plots of nature. I'm incredibly fortunate in that the occupants allow themselves to be photographed.

Glimpses of wildlife in the amazing world we share. It’s always a thrill to observe animals in their natural habitats. My personal challenge is to find each creature where it lives and to capture an image without causing it any stress.

The world is full of natural beauty, all we need is the chance to slow down and see it.

My personal challenge is to render it in two dimensions.
