I'm "older than dirt" now, retired and hoping to discover -in these beloved leisure years- whatever I have been missing ...or ignoring all along. I am an amateur photographer with varied interests as you will see. All the images are my own and must not be copied or used without my express written permission. I have no time for people with no pictures in their gallery, collectors or mass faving without leaving comments, all of which I will block immediately.

VISITORS, PLEASE NOTE: If you enjoy a photo here, LEAVE A COMMENT!!! If you do not comment, you will be blocked. Don’t be one of those ‘fav and run’ flickr users. I’m here to CONNECT, not collect, and I’ve enjoyed the relationships that have developed in my time here. Thanks so much to all of you who have taken the time to visit my photostream, and my deepest gratitude to those of you who took the time to write some comments. You ‘get’ it. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you were ‘provoked’ by my work.
