Although I currently enjoy taking photographs of natural landscapes and old buildings, I went through several different phases. The next photos are of the time period when I enjoyed taking pictures of the flowers that I grew in my own garden or of those I found in their natural habitats.

Sagarian Cactus


Easy to grow Daylillies

Backyard Amaryllis


Blood Red Amaryllis

I began my love of photography after I was married thirty years ago. I used to use my husband's camera at first until he gave me my own camera. All of my pics used to be taken with film. I can remember when I got my first digital camera in 2004. It used the 3.25 hard disks. Four years ago I acquired a Fuji film digital camera that had better pixels and a 4GB memory card. For this Christmas, my husband got me a Nikon with a telescoping lens. I can't wait to go on our next vacation so that I can get some new landscape photos. The photos below are taken in Jamaica, West Virgina, North Carolina, Florida, and South Carolina with my Fuji camera. Most of these photos grace the walls of my home in Bluffton, SC.
