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.

Papua New Guinea, Orchid, Red And Yellow, 1983 - A spectacular red and yellow miniature orchid, only one-inch high, lines the trail across Tekap valley. Ed, the American doctor in Mendi, taught me to appreciate the barely perceptible nuances of the bush. Miniature orchids are sometimes hidden from view, growing under overhanging moss in small creeks.

Gambia, Stone Circles, 2003 - The Stone Circles are in eastern Gambia. To my surprise, there are apparently many areas in the vicinity with similar monoliths, reminiscent of Stonehenge. There are more permanent ancient permanent sites in Africa than just the Great Zimbabwe Monument!
