This website illuminates my life and adventures. My longing for freedom has led me to over 2450 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.

Namibia, Himba Mother and Child Standing, 2000 - This woman was one of the first Himba we saw. She came walking out of the forest with her child. Her gentle demeanor impressed me. She had a classically beautiful face.

Philippines-Bulacan, Butterfly, 2007 - I pulled off at a toll exit on the main highway back to Manila. I saw a butterfly flitting about. I shot a photograph. The police pulled over and asked what I was doing. I told them I was photographing a butterfly. I wondered if they believed me. I showed them on the view screen on my camera. They said to continue. Then I took this photograph of the butterfly searching for nectar in the flower, which I shortly thereafter used on the Splash page on my website. The policeman came out of the car again and asked me if I would help him contact his father in California, with whom he'd lost contact. I still have to call information.
