As you can see, there is nothing I won't do to get out among the wildlife! Walking with the lions in South Africa may be a stretch but the joy and the beauty of nature is exhilarating no matter where you are.  We have undoubtedly spent most of our time in the southwest as we have lived in Tucson most of our lives.  One of my favorite places has been exploring the Lake Powell area and this is shown in a unique way by the photos of water reflections in my reflections gallery.  It is explained there and how the unusual and whimsical images began appearing to me some 30 years ago while kayaking on quiet mornings down narrow calm canyons.

I am a retired dentist here in Tucson and have been practicing since 1980 after graduating from the University of Missouri.

I have always been an avid amateur photography and love all genres but especially nature and landscape. My wife Jan and I love to travel and have been lucky enough to get to many beautiful places around the world.  When here in the states we travel in our motorhome with our two golden retrievers mainly out west, but as time allows, we will be heading to other beautiful parts of our country!
