National Parks


I've been fascinated by our national parks since reading a series of books about them in the library of Fairview Heights Elementary School, which is in my home town of Hamlet, North Carolina. Living on the West Coast puts me within easy reach of some of the most famous parks.

North Carolina


My home state and a place I still love to visit.

Railroads


My hometown was a railroad town. Most of my male relatives were railroad men. And I worked on the railroad during the summer when I was a college student.

 

I ride trains any time I can, which includes trips in England, France, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain and Switzerland.

Structures

 

Some of the most interesting structures found along the Northern California coast are bridges, lighthouses and Victorian houses.

Snow scenes

 

Most of these come from the photo trips I make each December to illustrate my holiday newsletter.

Nature

 

Hiking is a hobby that blends well with photography.
