Welcome to my personal blog. I enjoy researching our family history, walking in the woods, photographing nature, and collecting words and pictures. After living by the sea in southeastern Connecticut for forty-seven years, north central North Carolina has become my new home.

Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled – to cast aside the weight of facts and maybe even to float a little above this difficult world.
~ Mary Oliver

Words & Pictures

Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its own focus.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
