Grew up and live in the beautiful American Southwest. Love the outdoors, travel, new challenges, and unexpected adventure. Games intrigue me and writing, editing, and marketing sustain me. Staunch liberal - equality and social justice for all!

We have lost an angel who walked this earth spreading love, acceptance and understanding in countless ways. She leaves an incredible legacy of kindness, giving and humanitarianism along with her wonderful songs, performances and sources of entertainment. Thank you Dolly for everything!

Visited my family in NC during Thanksgiving. This is my sister's 30-year-old Christmas cactus in full bloom.

If you haven't seen the Wright museum and flight memorial on the NC Outer Banks, it's well worth it.

Having had a lot of debris removed at the end of spring and a very wet summer, the bright lumbego flowers have resurfaced.

In retrospect, ghost crab spotting on the beach at night is a unique experience.

An ebb tide at Leigh-On-Sea this morning, as light drizzle gives way to brighter skies ⛅ 🏝️ 🌂 Reflections are mixed, as a humid breeze continues into the new week, with deceptive currents hidden under apparent stagnation on the surface ⚓ 🌘 ⛵ Enjoy the week ahead, whatever your intentions 🍀 🦉 😇 🌺 🕊️

Couldn't capture the lunar eclipse / blood moon, but I'll share past shots of a lovely evening view of the moon wrapped in midnight blue clouds seen from Sandia Crest.

When going through a tough, gray cold spell, spotting one of our colorful feathered friends helps brighten the day.
