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.

UK, Birmingham, Birmingham Girls, 2009, IMG_7389 - These four young women were walking along on a chilly Birmingham evening, while I was taking photographs. I heard their lively voices as they passed by. Seeing I was a photographer, they asked if I could take their photograph. I was so happy to do so! Not only were they beautiful, but they were lovely as well. I didn't get their names, so I imagined them as four flowers, Lily, Violet, Rose and Flor (Spanish for flower).
