About Me

I was raised in Illinois and live in Eugene where I thoroughly enjoy exploring all angles of the decadently green pacific northwest with my husband and kid. You’ll often find me kneeling in a forest getting my camera all up in a tiny mushroom or some dewy patch of moss sparkling in the sun.                                                    *AKA Johanna Laemle

"Attending the Birth of a Queen Bee"

 Framed locally at Vistra Framing in cherry wood - $420

William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon - 2022

Here's a view looking northeast over a big field near Bald Top out at Finley. I was admiring the crazy amounts of wildflowers among the grasses and noticed a slight indentation where an animal had been relaxing - so I went for it, crept in and just sat still in that space for a while. I smelled the air and watched the breeze sway the grasses and checked out the hills in the distance and thought about how instinctively smart that animal was to choose such a beautiful hidden spot with excellent visibility. While I can't bring you the breeze - and this pic doesn't have the flowers in focus, this at least somehow conveys my simple joy that day. May you find a comfy spot, may you follow that trail to just the right perspective, may all your stars align in relaxing ways. 

Third Place Winner in Beyond Toxic's 2023 Photo Contest!

"Attending the Birth of a Queen Bee"

Bees just like the queen bee in the photo about to emerge from her queen cell into sunlight have helped humans for thousands of years. Bees pollinate our food crops, and share with us the anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-bacterial - and tasty - fruits of their labor, honey! With the dangers of pesticides and disease threatening bees and therefore our own earthly food supply, it's our turn to help them. Planting diverse native gardens free from pesticides helps our little dancing friends lead each other to the healthiest and tastiest flowers. 

I took this image  image in 2016 way up close to a backlit comb of a bee hive and I could not have been happier. Watching the bees come and go, tending to the queen as she fought to emerge was a powerful experience I will forever cherish. 

Support Bees Today!

Beyond Toxics envision a society where everyone has equitable access to healthy food and clean air and water, and underserved communities are included in decision making processes that affect them. Together, we move beyond the damaging environmental practices of the past and collectively work to support and maintain ecological resilience and balance.
