About Nature-Pics
Nature-Pics is the outlet for nature photographs taken primarily by Royce Shofner,
an avid outdoor enthusiast and shutterbug for over 40 years. Many of the
photos were taken while hiking, camping, canoeing, caving, etc for personal
pleasure. More recent photos however, have been taken explicitly for publication
on this web site. If we don't have the image you want, let us know, and
perhaps we can get it for you.
The Nature-Pics web site is currently under construction, but please feel free to browse the images 
on our web site as they are posted. We are busy creating the thumbnails
and slide shows for currently available digital images, and converting
older 35mm slides into additional digital images. We also are continuing
to add new images to the collection. Please be patient, it will be worth
the wait.
Nature-Pics is currently sharing facilities with an affiliated company, Digital Control Systems (who will soon be publishing screen savers using Nature-Pics images). Until we get our own facilities (especially a separate telephone number), don't be suprised if the telephone is answered "Digital Control Systems, may I help you?".
