Jesus is behind all I do as a photographer. I feel the Lord reveals Himself to me through His nature and feel this is a gift that allows me to see the raw beauty of creation through His eyes. He even allowed me to photograph two miracles at once. Go to my “About Judy” page to view this unique photograph.

My favorite subject to photograph is bears, but I also love to photograph all wildlife, flowers, and birds—especially hummingbirds:) I also created the Hummingbird Trail at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia.

I’ve given talks about hummingbirds, a talk about black bears, and various other presentations.

I live near Knoxville, Tennessee, and love photographing Tennessee’s wildlife and landscapes.

If you were wondering how tiny a ruby-throated hummingbird is—here you go! This male hummingbird’s gorget shimmered in the sun while he perched on a Major Wheeler Trumpet Honeysuckle. His full body is barely bigger than the leaf next to him.

This year, his pretty little face will grace the front cover of the Hummingbird Trail map at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. This will be the seventh year of the Hummingbird Trail that I researched and designed.

You can see why they are great pollinators by the huge amount of pollen on his head.
