About Me

My photo
Middle Tennessee, United States
I was raised in a very close, Christian based middle-class family in a Southern city suburb. I have been married 34 years. I have 2 grown sons, a beautiful granddaughter, and 1 older sister. Our home right now is also home to 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 pet chickens! I love music, outdoors, pets, wildlife, and new adventures. I love all of nature and God's many creations and can't imagine a life without a love of God and family, wildlife and the outdoors.

Photo Journaling

Photo Journaling
I love nothing more than to go out in the world and document what I see, the way I see it. Time I spend walking in a woods or along an overlook or floating on a lake or river is often the backdrop for my pictures. If not in the wilderness, then I also like to visit places of historical or architectural interest. Many of my photos will be nothing more than quick clicks just around the house.
I would love to have you visit - come view my photos. Feel free to comment, tell me what you like or don't like, and most of all just enjoy your time here.

Another day on Normandy Lake.

Another peaceful paddle on Normandy Lake. My husband Walter and I headed out to paddle another section of the lake.





As we paddled along, we came across this little Tod or Vixen. In reading about Fox behavior this little one may very well be suffering from beginning stages of Sarcoptic Mange as he/she was searching for food and paying us little mind. I certainly hope not and hope his scraggly appearance and daytime scavenging might just be due to the heat.





As we continued on, we came to a committee of turkey vultures and this one with wings spread, a thermoregulatory behavior for vultures.

All in all another successful day of experiencing wildlife in their natural habitat.
