The dining room in the Colorado Condo

/

As you get older, your lifestyle changes and your need for various things changes too. In terms of living space, I now have very little need for a dining room and I have modified it to accommodate my current needs.

Until recently the table, chairs, and china cabinet shown in this photo (taken in a previous abode) were in the dining room in the condo.

This is a photo I took of the “dining room” today.

The view from a slightly different angle. This modification to the room meshes much better with my current lifestyle, and the dining room table and china cabinet fit the lifestyle of the current owners (family members who live in Colorado).

The photo of the puffin (on the back wall to the right of the monitor) does not have a frame. It will be replaced with a larger framed print soon.

I retired in 2005 after 40 years of research and teaching at the University of Alabama in Birmingham (24 years), the University of Pennsylvania (8 years) and the Baylor College of Medicine (8 years). Photography is my retirement hobby.

Nature photography, especially bird photography, combines a number of things that I really enjoy: bird-watching, being outdoors, photography, travel, messing about with computers, and learning new skills and concepts.  I now spend much of my time engaged in these activities.

David Sibley in the preface to The Sibley Guide to Birds wrote "Birds are beautiful, in spectacular as well as subtle ways; their colors, shapes, actions, and sounds are among the most aesthetically pleasing in nature."  My goal is to acquire images that capture the beauty and uniqueness of selected species as well as images that highlight the engaging behaviors the birds exhibit.
