Your Bio

Hey thanks so much for stopping by to take a look at my photos! Please feel free to comment on them, I really do welcome your feedback.

I've often heard it said that you should focus on what it is that you love to do and I am fortunate enough to be able to do just that. Photography is such an amazing experience. I'm always striving to improve my photography, to learn new techniques, to be bolder and more confident in my picture taking. Each year I seem to grow leaps and bounds. I'm constantly studying photography and am excited when I reach a new level.

Besides photography, I love swimming and am a competitive masters swimmer with the United States Masters group ( http://www.usms.org). I swim for, and coach, the Swymnut Masters where we have great weather for swimming and an abundance of beautiful country to photograph. You can read about our team at http://www.swymnutmasters.com.

Oklahoma : Oklahoma City is amazing . We stayed a few days here while we were waiting for a part for our refrigerator. Couldn't have been more perfect as we really got to see so much of what this city offers. First and foremost, we came here to see the OKC National Monument of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P, Murrah building. From the minute I stepped through the "9:01" wall at the memorial, I was overcome with a strong emotional response. I cried as I toured the grounds and imagined that horrible day. So glad I came. In fact, we visited during the day, and then came back the next night to see the chairs lit and the grounds bathed in soft light. If you are anywhere near here, you have to see this. After such an emotional experience, we visited places with a lot of color and life. The Bricktown District, with it's canal walk is beautiful. The Myriad Botanical Gardens were fabulous. And we stumbled upon an exhibit of planes at Tinker Air Force Base. Hope you enjoy these pics as much as we enjoyed the experience of visiting.

South & North Dakota : On our journey, we definitely had our sights set for Rapid City, South Dakota. We wanted to see Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, The Badlands and Custer State Park. Loved, loved loved South Dakota. And our RV Park (Mt Rushmore KOA) was so good with beautiful views all around us. we decided to venture into North Dakota primarily to see the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. After that visit, we crossed the state into Kansas.

Montana and Wyoming : I think Montana is my all time favorite state. It is just gorgeous. On this trip, we really were only passing through Montana and Wyoming (as we had previously visited many areas in both states). In hindsight, I wish we had spent more time in both states. Next time, for sure!

Kansas : Ok, I have to admit, Kansas surprised me. We stayed in Lawrence, very close to Kansas City, Kansas and about 20 miles from Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas surprised me with its beauty. I somehow pictured Kansas as flat and consisting primarily of wheat fields. Boy was I wrong. There were lots of trees, gentle rolling hills, and plenty of green. We crossed the state and it is beautiful!
