My name is Steve Creek and I am a photographer from Lavaca, Arkansas. I am always outdoors walking around with a camera so I decided to get serious about taking nature photos while on my adventures. My favorite area to view wildlife is at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. I also like walking around Wells Lake and the Arkansas River Valley Nature Center. Thank you for visiting my photoblog.
