The Crested Saguaro cactus found mostly in the Sonoran Desert. This particular one was found in Phoenix, AZ, The USA. Don't miss the tiny person standing next to it.

I always love to photograph old autos. This was captured at The Gold King Mine near Jerome, AZ, the USA.

The red rocks of Sedona, AZ, the USA never ceases to take my breath away.

This is one of the beautiful waterfalls in Franconia Notch State Park, Maine, USA. I couldn’t resist a beautiful long exposure shot to give it a dreamy look.

The back of the sunflower is a work of art in itself. It’s always a wonderful exercise to look at things in a different way or from a new angle.

I wanted the tomato to be the star of this flatlay so I gave it a little boost with a small glass. The sunlight from a window was all the light needed.

This was my first introductory view of Alaska. I fell in love immediately!

The most idyllic place in the British Virgin Islands.

Tenants Harbor, Maine USA viewed from my walk out in the ocean at low tide.

It was one of those moments that just clicked. I was cutting the banana for my breakfast. I noticed that the banana and knife handle matched and thought it would be a great photo. So I grabbed some black poster board as a background, moved the set up near a door, set up the shot, and opened the door for lighting. Oh, and then I ate the banana.

Tenants Harbor, Maine, USA. This is a dramatic, black and white, low point of view, showing the wonderful Marshal Point Light Station.

The Marshall Point Lighthouse gave me some wonderful leading lines. I really loved how the shadows made the white railings pop!!

Simple colorful cups and saucers were used with some dramatic lighting to achieve this photo.

My father was a wonderful artist. I did not inherit any of his talent. In this photo, I wanted to try and capture the feel of an artist making their first stroke with the paintbrush.

The view from an urban precipice. It is always thrilling to ride on a glass elevator. This was the disorienting view from one of the upper floors looking down.

A beautiful lightscape highlighted an old oak tree at the Botanic Gardens in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. I thought it gave the tree an otherworldly look.

This was the magnificent view from the Penobscot Narrows Bridge Observatory in Maine, US. My vantage point of looking down on the bridge gave it a unique leading line into the horizon. I also loved the shadows in the water that hints of the actual construction of the bridge.
