Since February 14th I've been setting up my Etsy shop. Won't you please drop by my store and purchase your nature and wildlife images for that special someone in your life or for yourself to simply enjoy. All images are photographed and retouched by Naquillity Photography and are available as an instant download upon purchase. In time I hope to also secure prints and framed work but this will be much later in the process. For now please enjoy the 172 images I have available for purchase here.

Cohering Sunshine

I immersed myself in cohering rays of sunlight as the wind washed my skin with a cool winter bite. Standing sprawl legged over the narrow culvert, I take my first picture. Subtle tones of sunlight filter into the frame for effect.

Turning, I see a plethera of cocklebur and milk weed swaying, lithe bodied against the wind. Their timed rhythm plays to the camera's glass eye. Focused and steady I release the tension in my finger. The milk weed has birthed her downy white feathers. Their soft sheen covered with brown seeds.


Three horses stand in quotation of tree and frozen pond across the road. Poised, I break wind's voice with a shutter. Walking along the barbed fenceline I spot a bird's nest, coyly hidden. My camera seeks no respite.



I create a fractured blue sky and wait for the mosaic pieces to fall around me like dandelion seeds. I want to take the variegated colors, caught in my pocket, home. My ears seek refuge in the sound of a small plane flying overhead.


When the sound evaporates into the gold sun I move to a lone tree. I touch her sutured pain- six parallel scars- along her waist and wonder how she survived as her toaster-aged skin is crisp and dry from years of exposure to the cohering sunshine.


My story evolved from a few hours outside yesterday with my camera. I simply started taking pictures and couldn't stop.
