Music, Art (painting, drawing, photography, photoshopping), Film, Making Jewelry, Riding Horses, Bowling, Connecting the dots, Life, I find people fascinating, I love the smell of aged wood and campfires and the wind in the pines.... the smell of rain and the sound of footsteps on new fallen snow. Meeting new and interesting people. Autumn is my favorite time of year.
Here's a little photo essay I did on how the country seems to feel about our President....
Art is the conduit from which flows the magic of the human spirit, a way in which hopes, dreams and wishes can find their voice. That my friend has saved many a life. For without an expression, what are we?
This is a slideshow of the 27th Annual Surfabout held in Carmel, June 9th and 10th. My son placed 2nd in the Junior division!

Humans with grace and a sense of equity. Anyone who's got something good to share. People with a rebellious, questioning nature. Quirks. Those with a sense of the big picture who aren't afraid to love.
People who I will know in the future.
Braveheart.
