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.

Slovenia, Miklavz na Dravskem Polju Province, Fields, 2006 - Tilled fields are one of the hallmarks of hardworking Slovenia. It was not uncommon to see old woman who's backs were not straight out in their gardens at dusk, continuing to work.
Germany, Baden-Wurtenburg Province, Village Stork Of Opfingen, 2008, IMG_5997 - The stork is a magnificent bird. This one is a member of the family living on top of the church in Opfingen, on its way to forage for food.
Slovenia, Hajdina, Peacock, 2006 - In Hadjina Obcina, I was taking photos over a gate. The owner of the house invited me in the back. He kept many birds, including this peacock. I was allowed into the pen. I've never been so close!
