A Little Bit About Me ....
My name is Debbie Miller. I am a long time resident of Illinois. After growing up in Oak Park, and meeting my husband Paul, we decided to move to DeKalb twenty or so odd years ago to raise our children. As our children grow and become more independent, I find I am able to enjoy my other passions. I have many ... birdwatching, gardening, photography, dancing, canning jellies and salsas to name a few.
Most of my summers are spent outside with camera in hand. I am amazed by all the incredible things that happen in my own backyard. The same old yard changes and has a different scene daily. There is always something new for me to discover and take pictures of, whether I am in my own backyard or beyond. I find myself stalking critters... I squat, crawl and creep around in my garden, in parks and really anywhere in nature in an attempt to get as close as humanly possible to my subject without disturbing the natural balance of a Nature-ally Beautiful moment. Being patient and motionless pays off, the birds and little creatures become used to my presence allowing me to capture undisturbed beautiful moments. I would like to share one of the first moments I considered to be Nature-ally Beautiful in my own backyard. Imagine the family hose draped across a slightly overgrown lawn; in front of the hose is an eager young House Finch, it's mouth open wide, feathers fluttering, shaking. Suddenly a fiery red Cardinal bounces onto the scene. Two hops and a flap later my breath is taken away. I am in absolute awe as I witness the miracle of a male Cardinal feeding this young hungry House finch! Heartwarming ... and Nature-ally Beautiful. This moment touched my heart and is the story behind the image on THANK YOU CARD #04. I find that when I do take the time to slow down and pay attention to all the wonderful little things around me, I am struck by how much there really is to treasure and be thankful for.
With the encouragement of my family, friends and neighbors, I have combined my passion for photography, bird-watching, gardening, and my love of nature to create a line of original photo note cards. Debbie'sNatureNoteCards are blank inside and offer my unique perspective through the many breathtaking images of Nature-ally Beautiful moments that continually unfold before me... What I see and how I see it. My vivid images of nature are combined with beautiful words and quotes that poetically mirror each other, and are aimed at making that special someone's day. You can simply let the image chosen and quip or quote speak for themselves or add your own sentiment to the inside.
Thank-you for taking the time to consider my blank photo notecard collection when thinking of your loved ones.
