I Love taking walks and going to my most favorite park, Fairview Park, and practicing yoga and meditation. It's so lovely and spring is bringing us flowers and beauty on the bluffs. The Park has great big sycamore trees for shade if its hot out and also lush green cool grass to lay on. The park is very secluded. I'm taking you to a secret spot hidden from the hustle and bustle where all you hear are crickets and birds. You can sign up for the class through the city of Costa mesa at thier website …

But the reality is that I have kids at home who need my attention when it is outside normal working hours, a business that needs my attention during the work-week, and that regular hikes will have to wait just a few more years for me. Please feel free to email me or call me if you have any suggestions or questions. Contact me through this site and I'd be glad to give you my …

Ever since I received my first camera at age 7, photographing nature was always my primary artistic passion. And ever since I joined the digital revolution a few years ago with the purchase of my first DSLR I have been working to build up a portfolio of images of nature. Now I would like to get together with other photographers with the same passion. I'd also love to share my knowledge and ex …
