The photographs in this book are representative of my photographic journey over the past few years. Nature photography offers quiet, almost meditative, observation of one's surroundings, along with the excitement of getting the "shot" when something of interest appears. For me, it has also allowed the great pleasure of many new friendships with other photographers, birders, and nature lovers who have enhanced the experience and enriched my life. Thank you to all! While I have taken photos at many locations around Richmond and beyond, a large percentage of the photos included here were taken at a favorite place, Tuckahoe Creek Park in Henrico County, where you can see a great variety of wildlife. If you are quiet, patient and observant. Enjoy.
