Visit "My Gallery" (upper right of page) to see more of my photos from some of my trips around the world.

Some ask me what kind of camera I use so here is some information: I have a Minolta SLR but now use only my digital cameras:

I love my Fuji FinePix S602Zoom http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/FujiS602Z/

I also really like my small Canon PowerShot SD750 http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-sd750-silver/4505-6501_7-32314640.html

Now I have a new 10x zoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3S http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/panasonic-lumix-dmc-tz3s/4505-6501_7-32332747.html

I would like a Canon PowerShot S5 IS http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-s5-is/4505-6501_7-32441341.html

Visit LOTH

I grew up in Ontario (Canada)and have traveled to every province and state and in total over 42 countries. I love both travel and photography - and dogs, cats & kids.
I've lived in the 'burbs of New York City (Westchester Cty; Vermont; Rhode Island, S-W Florida & Arizona...presently living in western Canada (home of the Rocky Mountains and spectacular scenery)

I am "supposedly" retired but work pretty much full time with red hatting and founding a new Canadian Social club for women plus plan an annual convention.

My husband will require knee surgery so travel plans are on hold at the moment but he's got some very special trips in his dreams for after recovery. WE LOVE TO TRAVEL !!!

For me - this says it all:

Wander-Thirst

ALL the credit for this masterpiece goes to Gerald Gould

Beyond the east the sunrise; Beyond the west the sea
And East and West the Wander-Thirst that will not let me be;
It works in me like madness to bid me say goodbye,
For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! The call of the sky!

I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are,
But a man can have the sun for friend, and for his guide, a star;
And there’s no end to voyaging when once the voice is heard,
For the rivers call, and the road calls, and oh! The call of a bird!

Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day
The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away
And come I may, but go I must, and if men ask you why,
You may put the blame on the stars and the sun,
And the white road and the sky.

YES - I HAVE BEEN TO ALL THE PLACES IN THE PHOTOS!
Below are a few from a recent trip to Europe and our river cruise from Paris to Budapest.

RED HATTING IS ONE WONDERFUL HOBBY I ENJOY!
