I am a single dad, 52, a widower, a design engineer, a wildlife lover, birder, and amateur photographer. My "Buddy Icon" photo was taken in November 2009.

I live in beautiful Jupiter Florida in a house with a nice pool and a natural creek in the back, where I have seen dozens of species of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, and plants. I will post interesting pics from my life and see if anybody notices :D
