My passion for photography was passed down from my paternal grandparents and my father. As a child, I owned several cameras and captured images of everything in sight. With the advent of the digital era, my love for photography has only deepened. About a decade ago, I became part of a 365-day photography community, and I eagerly embraced the transition to 365 Picture Today. Residing in Southern Idaho's farming and ranching locale, I have the vast high desert of Idaho, Utah, and Nevada at my doorstep. My photographic interests are broad, but wildlife, birds, and nature are my favorites. I'm happily married to my best friend, have three stepdaughters, eleven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Additionally, we have a collection of cats that occasionally make appearances in my photographs.
