Although I try to appreciate beauty in the moment, there are many times I can't resist the urge to capture a fraction of the experience in a photo. I am most captivated by plants, but the occasional insect, animal,mushroom or natural feature has caught my attention as well. This is a small collection taken from my time spent as a Teacher’s Assitant for Field Botany across California alongside a few other travels. I hope you enjoy this small sampler of what nature has to offer, and if you'd like to see more, go outside! Alternately, you can visit my Flickr account
