Avid Wildlife photographer
As a hobby and to satisfy my limited creative ability, I have been an avid photographer of the Wildlife and Natural beauty of Arkansas since 2013. It is my passion and obsession, and I have traveled within our state in my free time taking landscapes, and wildlife from deer and elk, to all things with wings and even insects and butterflies.
