Welcome! This is a site that was originally created to log random travels and going-ons in my world. A site to share or have others stumble upon with no real rhyme or reason other than to be mildly entertained. Feel free to poke around and if you have any questions to contact me.

Over on the right hand side there’s another page for current going-ons…that’s where you’ll find the random blogs.  Everything else is somewhat organized (in a misfit sort of way) into categories (most of these being from travels..something about travel and feeling compelled to write).

And, yeah, I’m a sucker for photographs. Below random assortment from southern Africa and New Zealand.

These two photos rank up there in terms of my favorite from travels over to Africa. Trips to Africa have been for my graduate research but, like all things, it is the relationships formed and beauty I have seen that have built the experience into something that will be with me forever.

Two other photos always come back to…

Sunset in the Okavango Delta, Botswana

Baobab tree - border of Botswana and Namibia

And from way back when (2004) these are to convince those of you that have never been to New Zealand that it is a very, very good idea. Yay hooray for feeling tech-savvy…still riding high from figuring out how to scan off a fax machine. Although quality just so-so, don’t let it deter..you should go, ck it out for yourself…
