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.

DK, Greenland, North Coast, Arctic Knot With Chick, 2007, IMG_5182CU2r1 - I crawled on my hands and knees to get close enough to this Arctic Knot. She began to trust me, and let her chicks out from underneath her belly, who were no doubt restless in their nest. They wandered around until their mother called them. Then they ran back underneath the safety of her body.
Thailand, Trat Province, Dragon Fish, 2008, IMG_9910 - This was one of the most amazing things I ever saw. Not only did these fish have fins and wings like dragons, but they appeared to prey on one another, here making an unlikely and astounding scene.

PH, Bukidnon Province, Truck With People, 2008, IMG_1239 - The people of the Philippines are generally quite friendly. This scene shows two hallmarks of the Philippines: the Jeepney, which is a conversion of the Jeep, introduced in the second world war, and the willingness of the people to open themselves to others.
