Photography, Photos and Sylvestermouse
There are times when I feel like I was born with a camera attached to my hand. I rarely go anywhere without taking one of my cameras.

Hangin’ with Gray Wolves
What words do you use to describe Gray Wolves? Fascinating! Intelligent! Mischievous! Beautiful! These are all words that I would use to describe this Gray Wolf.

Vacation in Hawaii
Definitely Worth the Wait! When I was a senior in high school, my senior class went to Hawaii on Spring Break, but I did not go. I always regretted missing the trip to Hawaii and occasionally would comment how ridiculous it was that I did not go when I had the chance. Twenty years later […]

My Favorite Toy ~ Barbie

Vacation in Rome, Italy
Why We Traveled to Rome, Italy When our son graduated from high school, we wanted to give him a gift he would always treasure. Not something he would tuck away in a drawer and forget. We considered a watch and a few other “standard” graduation gifts appropriate for guys. After much thought and great consideration, […]
