ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In Kenya, on the Masai Mara Cheetahs are a wonderful site to behold. This female and her cubs are lounging in the morning light. We stopped the safari truck a good distance away. After awhile the mother cheetah, stood up and walked with purpose straight down the game trail toward me, looking right into my lens. What an awesome moment, and one we respected. We moved off from the scene and allowed the family to have their space.

AUTHOR
I am a wildlife and nature photographer and live in Bend, Oregon. This kind of photography allows me to be outdoors, witnessing the incredible things that the natural world can offer. It feeds my soul. I am also a Mom of two fabulous twenty-something kids, a wife to an avid fly fisherman and an internal medicine veterinarian. I am presently taking a sabbatical to work vigorously on honing my photographic skill both creatively and technically, to me a great use of my time and energy. An early morning out to capture beautiful light and amazing wildlife is the best start to a day. A midmorning out hiking or running trails with my dog is a close second! By bringing images of beauty to those less fortunate than I and encouraging people to surround themselves with images of the beauty of nature, fosters the sense in people that our natural world is worth saving, for us and our children.
