I am a firebuff who has a very extensive collection of photos of fire service vehicles and ambulances (approximately 500,000 images) from around the world. I am happy to share on request. I also take almost daily pictures of my Labrador Retriever, Gracie, who really is as sweet as she looks. In addition, I am truly blessed to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth and I enjoy photographing the natural beauty and interesting sights I encounter on my travels, whether close to home or far afield. I am thankful for the opportunity to share my life experiences with my friends at Flickr.
