I had the privilege of visiting Chincoteague Island and Assateague Island, in Virginia, during mid-February ’13. Chincoteague is a quaint, friendly town and Assateague Island was abundant with wildlife. I had my sights set on finding the famous Chincoteague Ponies, known worldwide for the pony swim and penning that occurs yearly on the last Wednesday […]

Sharon has always been artistically expressive from a young age - drawing, painting, piano, violin - growing up with a crayon, pencil, paint brush, or musical instrument at her fingertips. After her childhood and teen years, graphic design and web development filled her need for creativity. Sharon's true passion is now photography. What started out as a hobby on Instagram in late 2011, has evolved into a journey of self-expression using a digital medium.
Sharon is self-taught in photography, through trial and error and countless hours of practice and experimenting. She thoroughly enjoys being outdoors to witness and capture the beautiful sights that are everywhere around us.
Her photographs have been published locally and are now on display/for sale at local businesses.
Sharon was bitten by the travel bug in 2006, and is either traveling or planning her next destination. She enjoys seeing new places and experiencing other cultures. Sharon owes her love of traveling to her parents, who took her on many vacations across the U.S., having been to every state except Hawaii. In recent years she's traveled to Alaska, Washington, New Mexico, Assateague Island, Maine, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saguenay Fjord, Quebec, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Russia, Finland, and Sweden.
Sharon will be visiting Namibia, Africa during July/August '13 for a two week volunteer mission and 4-day Safari. Before the Safari, she will be helping to teach the San Bushmen children for one week, then volunteer her time at the wildlife sanctuary during the second week. She belives that giving back to people and wildlife is both rewarding and necessary.

A Winter’s Morning At Zoar Wetland, Ohio
The past few nights here in the southern portion of Northeast Ohio have been in the teens, so I’ve been thinking about the “odd couple” at Zoar Wetland. This past autumn, a goose and brown duck (no one seems to know the proper name, although it does resemble a Mallard), took up residence at the […]
Dancing Sandhill Cranes Of Bosque del Apache, New Mexico

Having never seen them in Ohio (one of the many species on my state’s endangered list), I was truly amazed by this wading bird’s courtship dance. The Sandhill Crane’s dance includes jumping up to […]
