Two years ago I started photographing the wild animals in the backyard. It has been the most challenging,frustrating,exciting,and sometimes the most heartbreaking,thing I have ever done. And I absolutely love it !!

When I first started two year’s ago,we only had a few birds,chipmunk’s and squirrel's. We worked hard
at making the back woods “wildlife friendly”,and now we have several animals that call the backyard home.
The newest members are a family of red foxes,that moved in this Jan.

It has been an incredible experience,and has given me a greater appreciation,for all animals great and small.
So I hope you enjoying all the animal’s from the backyard,and that you may see something in them that
you havn’t see before.

If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear.
What one fears, one destroys.
