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.

South of Camp 23, only kilometers from our most southerly penetration into the Meseta, Janeiro, Telly and I encoun- tered a family of giant otters. They were as curious as we were. They had never seen humans before. Likewise, we had never seen the likes of them.

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!
