I live in Miami, Florida
I love capturing my travels through the eye of a camera, especially wildlife and scenics.
Have just discovered the enjoyment of photographing birds in our state of Florida and hope to improve.
I've been an avid birder all my life, having grown up in the Midwest - Illinois, adjacent to a forest preserve.
I'm continously adding to my "life list".
I am a travel agent on the side and enjoy setting up trips for friends to wilderness areas I have previously traveled to.
I have also been grooming dogs for 26 years and now teach at an adult trade school dealing in the pet grooming industry.
I love meeting new people and sharing my experiences with them.
Because of my jobs, I'm afforded the opportunity to take time off and travel often.
Amongst my favorite places I've traveled to:
US: Alaska, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire and Arizona.
World: Africa (Kenya), Asia (China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Bali).
As my partner and I enjoy sharing our experiences, I've often extended specialty travel agent pricing/packaging to other members of oru friendship entourage or, arranged discounted trips so that they may join us.
An experience is always made best when shared with people you care about and seen through someone elses eyes, thus helping you appreciate the world with an open mind.
Please drop by some of my photos...I'm just getting the hang of flickr!
