These are a few of my favorite nature pictures

Most of these (all but 5) were taken with a point and shoot camera and they were taken before I took my first photography course.  I've had my big camera for less than a year.  I bought my D90 ( big camera) when I wanted to document the destruction of St. Edwards Catholic Church.  The college media loan was not flexible enough to let me have a good camera for the quarter and I could not predict exactly when the church was going to come down; I needed  access to a good camera at all times for that project.

These pictures and more will be on electronic display on October 22,  at the Shelton Pavilion as part of a fund raiser for the Statewide anti-incinerator movement.   I will have to move away from all this beauty if the incinerators are built.
