I have gone back to teaching! Now, I teach at a local community college in southern Oregon where I help students earn their GED's. It's great fun and I celebrate with each and everyone of my students who achieves this goal that can lead to many more opportunities. I hope to get back to photography when I retire, again, from the classroom. Until then, I hope you enjoy looking at the photos that I have uploaded here. (10/09)

This photo of Tom and me was taken as we headed from Marcos Island near Naples FL to Key West for the day. It was a very chilly, windy day in January, but we had a very good time. You may view photos of our travels in Southern Florida by clicking on the photo.

I love to take photos of Mother Nature's works of art when we travel because "a picture says a thousand words." Please visit my travel website, Image Nomads.

I have always been a photo junkie. Tom says I was hooked on photos, not phonics. My most treasured resource as teacher of English and students with special needs was my picture file. The photos were "eye candy" used as writing prompts. My directions to my students were: "A picture says a thousand words; write a few words to create a picture." I collected photos from postcards, magazines, newspapers, and old calendars. Many collections of students' creative writings inspired by photos were published by and for the students.


I invite you to share comments about my photos on this site or via e-mail, kay@imagenomads.com. Your suggestions help me to improve my photographic skills and websites. Thanks for looking and enjoy the views!
