Our image “The Beauty of Aging” will be exhibited from May 18, 2018 to July 1, 2018 at the “still life” show at the A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas near Austin.

Three of our images were licensed by Backroads for use in their active travel catalogs.  We have taken several trips with Backroads including a multisport trip to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands, a hiking trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, and a multisport trip to Alaska.  We highly recommend Backroads for an active vacation that will include activities that would be difficult to arrange on your own such as dining in locals homes and the finest local guides.

We participated in our first Pond Tour sponsored by the North Texas Water Garden Society in June, 2015.  Although we do not have a pond, we really enjoyed photographing the beautiful gardens and ponds and especially enjoyed talking to the owners, who were all very passionate about their ponds.  We were honored that one of our photos was chosen to be on the cover of their 2016 Pond Tour Guide.
