Welcome to my Gallery of Wildlife images taken in Southern California.

My love of wildlife originated in my childhood where I was raised in northern Illinois. I spent summers at my family's summer home on Lake Michigan in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin I grew up to love the outdoors. I was always searching for some sort of critter from Deer to Snakes to Toads & Frogs, Porcupines and more.

My college years were spent in Colorado where I fished, hiked, and was a Pro Skier. Once I graduated from College with a BS in Business; Specialization in Marketing I moved to Vail where I lived until I moved to Southern California. Once here I ventured into Real Estate because I thought I'd have plenty of free time to explore here. I was wrong. I worked 14 hour days for years. I have had a successful career working with many wonderful clients. With a slower real estate market, I am able to have more time to explore our world of Wildlife here in Southern California.

Along with enjoying capturing wildlife images, I also enjoy learning about them.

So please browse through my galleries. I hope you enjoy the images of these beautiful creatures.
