About Me

My photo
Hi, I m Dick Isenhart. The effects of global warming concerns me deeply. My wish is that my pictures will move you to help preserve our fragile world. "Be the change you want to see in the world." After years on shooting film I transitioned to digital and gave away all my old gear. I now use a Canon 80D. Before COVID, my wife and I took long camping trips each summer to photograph the national parks. We have adapted to taking several closer trips to State Parks. I enjoy the grand vistas of landscape photography. But Macro wildflowers and arboretum photography brings out my artistic side. I am available to mentor and give presentations. Please feel free to comment on any of my work. Like and Follow as you see fit. Let me know if you would like a print. My motto is to "Live life with integrity and a sense of humor". I have a good sense of humor and don't take life or myself too seriously. I hope that in time, my friends and family will say that I had laughed a lot and loudly and have lived my life with integrity.

Arives at Cabot Trail Nova Scotia


The rain has followed us to Nova Scotia.

The last evening at PEI had a windy but lovely evening. Clouds everywhere with scattered rain for the last three days. Not enough to stop us but enough to change our plans.

We went for a drive to find the ferry to Nova Scotia and found a wool farm where the owner was training her dog to herd her ducks. After that she directed us to a woolen mill where we got a personal tour. Fascinating machinery, oh ya, Sue bought some yarn.

The mouth of the ferry opens up to eat the cars and trucks. One hour trip was uneventful.

We followed the car’s navigator and ended up on a paved but rotten road for 50 miles. We averaged maybe 30 MPH. So much for the “quickest” calculated route. It was beautiful. I had to watch for pot holes and Sue got to see the majestic hills and lakes.

We are on the Cabot Trail. The Cape Breton area has the most beautiful low mountains (quickly rising to 500 Meters) I’ve ever seen!
