Michael Weatherford

I am a retired professional forester and nature photography enthusiast. I have worked in management for forest product companies in every Southeast USA state except Florida. Born in West Kentucky, I am now am happily retired in Arkansas. I've been shooting photos for decades, my first real camera being a Pentax Spotmatic purchased in 1969 while I was serving in the US Air Force. My favorite subjects are butterflies, birds and wildflowers. Visit my Flickr site at https://www.flickr.com/photos/124612053@N08/ to see some of my photos, and to confirm that I truly am an amateur. My wife Nancy and I live on our own little eight-acre nature preserve in a small town in Arkansas. It's my main "studio" located right outside my door! We like to travel, our favorite destinations are national parks.
