I love the mystic in nature, the enchanting places, that seem to be out of a fairytale.

Every place found in nature has a beautiful atmosphere.

When taking my photos I look for the circumstances that bring out the beauty at it's best.

These pictures show nature as viewed through my eyes.


These pictures represent an unforgetable period in my life, during this time I have met my soul mate, the love of my life.
He has taken me to these beautiful places.
Me looking like a Japanese tourist, with camera and lenses.

A memory that I will cherish, one of many to come.

The pond is situated in a park in the mountains, we have walked the trails there, enjoying the splender of the forest.

The photos of the clouds over the trees are taken from the steal bridge, one of my husbands favorite places. This place is also high up in the mountains.

A stream goes through the small valley, finding it's path through the trees, the water has created little waterfalls where it comes down the mountains.

 The peacefullness of this spot, the soothing sounds of the streaming water.
One of the many small paradises here on earth.
