I have been into nature photography most of my life and when I retired from law enforcement in 2009 I could finally devote more time and effort to it. As birds were readily available I started photographing them and was soon addicted to birding! :-) I spend a lot of time photographing the birds and anything else that will sit still for me at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and eventually started volunteering at the Visitor Information Station on the refuge. I sometimes travel for photography and birding but most of my images are taken at Anahuac NWR.
