After retiring from a career in nursing, my husband and I moved to the mountains of Colorado where I observe and photograph the wildlife whose habitats surround our home. My fondness for animals began when I was a small child living on a farm. I took care of feeding ducks, chickens, birds, cats, dogs, sheep, calves, lambs, pigs, and raccoons. I even took an interest in spiders, and ants and I got to ride one of our gentle bulls. Animals seemed to be at ease and drawn to me.
