Nature's Gallery

The palette of nature is incredible. My efforts to capture it on film or by using a paintbrush cannot ever compare to the fragrance, the fragility and beauty of the living subjects. As a Master Gardener I appreciate the fraility of our ecosystem. These are but a few of my photographs and represent travels all over the globe.
