Hi! I am LeRoy Michaelson, a photographer who has a passion for nature and wildlife photography. There is something very special about spending time out amongst the mountains and trees - listening to the sounds of nature and feeling the (sometimes) gentle breeze on your face as you wait - sometimes endlessly - for that perfect moment of light or action or appearance of an animal. My hope is that you will enjoy seeing Creation through my eyes and feel the same joy that I experience when capturing these images. If you would like to stay informed of my adventures or other related information, please <a style="font-size:110%;font-weight: bold;color:#b00;font-variant:small-caps"href="http://momentsinnature.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e47e9d95cf554c4068eb1a742&id=31d9b22753" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> to my email list and choose the topics that interest you. http://leroymichaelson.smugmug.com/Other/My-Smug-Mug/DSC9437-bio2/271965066_YJenm-Ti.jpg http://leroymichaelson.smugmug.com/popular/ 2009-11-26T23:05:55Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
