Trail Tracks

I'm not a fan of blogs. The word itself is repelling. I don't claim to be a writer or an expert but there are times when I would like to document my time behind the camera, so here it is...

Work is a ZOO!

I have finally found an employer that I am proud to work for! For two decades, I have given my all for companies that make products I don't care about and do anything but help the environment. A few years ago, I had had enough so I left the workforce to search for something I felt good about being a part of. Something that enriched my soul, not drained it.

This period of my life is when I found Project Noah and started taking photographs. I absolutely loved it! I completed naturalist training at a local reserve and also signed up for a childhood cancer fundraiser that had me hiking every weekend in preparation for a 27 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail... in 12 hours. I felt great on both the outside and the inside!

Sadly, since this was all volunteer work, money eventually became an issue. I was unsuccessful finding a fulfilling career that accompanied a paycheck so I had to give in to an offer placing me straight back where I left. Ugh! That lasted just over a year before they decided I had to go.
Months later, it finally happened. I got a job that I'd been looking for. I now work at a zoo!  Animals, conservation, education, people passionate about the same interests, a paycheck.
Perfect! And how am I supposed to resist snapping photo's of the incredible organisms? Well, being the big Star Trek fan that I am, I will simply say, resistance is futile!

    I've always been a nature lover and have decided to photograph the beauty around me. I picked up a camera in 2011 and just can't seem to put it down. Thank you Project Noah for the inspiration and to my family for all of the love and support!
