Jewels in the Valley: … Celebrating Beauty, Courage, and Hope through photography and poetry

Welcome to
the beauty of the Willamette Valley area. This collection of
poetry has been either inspired or complimented by each photo.
I am so appreciative of the meaningful contributions of every
photographer represented as their work has
been so expressive of my heart.

More than a book of my poetry, Jewels in the Valley
highlights how nature, by God’s design, draws
our humanity into community.

This collection is soon to be followed by another
grouping of poems of Encouragement and
Hope which will also include scenes of the
greater Willamette Valley and the Pacific Northwest Coastal regions.
