These images are a very small selection of the photographs I took over approximately the last 15 years driving through New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, Wyoming,, and living in California.

Ever since I was a boy growing up in the Netherlands, I wanted to experience every aspect of this magnificent country : The landscapes, the cities, the new and the old,Some of these photographs represent that, others, especially the flowers and small creatures, were taken in the various backyards where we lived in California.A few were taken recently in our new wonderful hometown of Bend, Oregon
