Weather has always facinated me, especially after I saw the destruction on the NC coast from Hurricane Hazel in 1954. Growing up in Miami gave me a complete education in tropical cyclones, especially with Andrew in 1992. Having relocated to the NC Mountains in the summer of 2009, I was once again humbled by the weather when  record snow  struck my home about six miles north of Lake Lure. I retired from the corporate world in 1995 after 26 years with Knight-Ridder, Inc. I became an artist, producing many large mural type paintings over the years. My art rekindled my interest in photography, and I have become quite accomplished in that area. I hope that my trained eye can bring interesting images to this forum.
