About me:
 

I love being outdoors in the wilderness!  My love for hiking and backpacking was a discovery of my later years - part of an empty nest re-discovery of life :-). Up to then, I had never seen such natural beauty as what I witnessed while on these backcountry trips. 
 

I live with my husband in the Central Valley of California within close proximity to the Western escarpment of the Sierra Nevada.  My weekend hikes are often in SEKI (Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks) Yosemite and the surrounding foothills. I also spend much time in Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California, an area that was my home for 30 years.   
 

My favorite backpacking destinations are reached from the Eastern approach to the Sierras out of the communities along the Hwy. 395 corridor. The "Range of Light" offers some of the most magnificent scenery in the world.
 

Photography started as a way to chronicle some of the most amazing things I had seen. Over the years, as my experience and photography equipment have improved, I've thought I'd like to share some of my photos with others.  This website is the realization of that goal.  Enjoy.
