This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2600 of the world’s 3978 provinces, to every country on earth and to the summit of the highest peak on each continent (thank heaven for good weather!). In my travels, I learned to respect the intelligence and ingenuity of people of all races and callings both past and present. Come see the world as I see it: as a peaceful place, full of nature and beauty. With the right spirit and intent, we can make our world a virtual Garden of Eden.

Ascension Is, Cinder Cone Vertical, 2006 - As I moved further up Woman Mountain, I came to this spot below the Cinder Cone. I had already been dazzled by her plain beauty, but now I was stunned. The cinder cone scene seemed remarkable, almost surreal in its perfection.

Botswana, Baobab, 2001 - The Baobab tree is one of the hallmarks of Africa. In addition to being useful in many ways, it is picturesque. It grows to mammoth proportions, as evidenced in this photo.

Falkland Is, Black-browed Albatross Feeding Young, 2006 - When I first saw these birds, I thought that they were a pair of adults communicating. I later learned that the young albatrosses cannot fly at all, and they grow as big as, or even bigger than their parents. The young bird is stranded, as it cannot fly. The parent fishes, then brings it back to the young. The fish is expelled from the parent's throat into the expectant chick open bill.
