A woven Native American basket, sitting on a pretty blue and white table cloth, holds smudge bundles or sticks, dried herbs bound with string, intended to be burned as incense. Frequently used plants include sage and cedar. Smudging is an ancient ritual, intended to cleanse and purify.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
