Hawkeye Nature Photography I hope that you will pause in the midst of your busyness, slow down and savor these images. I still feel especially blessed when hawks fly over me.

Welcome to Hawkeye Nature Photography

As a young girl, the first camera I received from my parents was a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. Coincidently, the first wildlife I began to photograph over twenty-five years ago were hawks along the expressway as I drove to work in downtown Memphis. They’ve become somewhat my totem. I am most fortunate to have the opportunity to travel all over the world to photogr

aph birds, animals and breathtaking scenery. I am constantly delighted and awed with the variety of colors and beauty that God has created. It is my hope that you will enjoy the fruits of my work and my passion, but more importantly, I hope that you will pause in the midst of your busyness, slow down and savor these images. Perhaps they will remind you of trips you have made or give you new ideas of places to see. Most of all, I hope you will allow the Creator to touch your heart and soul and bring you some measure of peace and refreshment.

Often shrouded in fog and mystery, I enjoy seeing Venice on a bright day when she shows off her vibrant colors. The playful colored pencil-styled dock posts near the Rialto gave a modern touch to the otherwise formal setting of ancient buildings. Thousands of paintings of The Grand Canal festoon the walls of galleries both national and private. And what would the City of Canals be without the omnipresent gondoliers, laughing and singing their clients around the watery streets. Oranges, yellows, peach and white alternate on 500-year old palazzos now serving as hostelries, offices and galleries. Unique as the Queen of Canals, Venice, day or night, is one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Hvar is a delightful island filled with lavender fields separated by dry stack stone walls that reflect how the area was farmed during both the Greek era and prehistoric times. The Adriatic lapping Hvar's shoreline seems startlingly blue on beautiful sunny days. As other towns along the Dalmatian coast, Croatia is blessed with bountiful, bougainvillea contrasting pleasingly with the stone walls and wooden shutters of its various towns.

Split gained some importance in 305 AD when the Roman Emperor, Diocletian arrived after having his palace built as a summer residence. Gradually, over time, the palace became a town into itself. A modern day wonder in Split is the Museum of the works of Ivan Mestrovic, a world renowned Croatian sculptor. Croatia has much to offer in the way of natural beauty, charming villages, historical significance and lovely people. Read more at : http://hawkeyenature.com/Blog/2014/09/Default.aspx

A benchmark for beauty, for people, food, scenery and history might be Tuscany, that heavenly section of Italy that has inspired artists, writers and travelers for centuries. Pisa is famously known for its Leaning Tower, Torre Pendente, which apparently began its centuries-long pitch to ultimate destruction shortly after it was begun in 1173. After stabilization measures taken in 2000, it was reopened to the public. It is the bell tower for the Duomo, or Cathedral. Those two buildings and the Baptistry are grouped together in the Campo dei Miracoli.

Another famous church is the church of San Biagio, which is considered a Renaissance masterpiece by some. It is perched on a verdant hillside below the town of Montepulciano which sits on one of the region's highest hills.

One of the smallest of the hilltowns is Monteriggioni, with its circle of towers protecting it from all directions. It's only a few miles north of the large and very busy city of Siena. By comparison, it is almost doll-like in its proportions.

Then there is the incomparable Florence, home to some of the greatest art treasures in the world. The Ponte Vecchio, built in 1345, is a miracle itself. Bridging the narrowest part of the Arno River, it was preceded by a wooden bridge that dated back to 970, which was preceded by a Roman one. Shops have lined the bridge since the 13th century. Though originally there were a lot of butchers and fish mongers, today the goldsmiths are predominant.

One writer said Croatia is like Italy 75 years ago. I can't attest to the accuracy of that, but with its narrow, winding cobblestone streets, and abundant blossoms of bougainvillea cascading down ancient stone walls it does have a similar feel. Of course, the Romans left their mark along the Adriatic coast with vestiges of their work still in evidence. Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic, is like a tiny kingdom unto itself. The wide, stone city walls, that give it clear definition sit high above the Adriatic Sea and allows you, if you wish, to circumvent the entire city with a bird's eye view.

Korcula, is another lovely, delightfully small walled town. It was ruled by Venice for about eight centuries and the The surrounding area is home to some family-owned wineries and where the grapes for Syrah are believed to have originated.

Bosnia virtually has only a toe in the waters of the Adriatic, but a short drive from Ploce, brings you to Mostar, a town comprised of Muslims in the eastern part and Bosnian Croats in the western. Stari Most, the Old Bridge was originally built in the 16th century but was wracked with shelling in 1993. The reconstruction brought both ethnic sides of the city together in 2004 to rededicate it as a symbol of diversity.

The amazingly clear waters of the Adriatic invite swimmers to step in around its shallow shores, but it plunges into the earth and averages over 800 feet in depth. It's a wonderful backdrop for dramatic sunsets.
