The Serpent crosses the road using the Milky Way as a beacon on its attack of Borrego Springs, shining in the distance.

A journey to this fabulous location, the artist’s background, and how I crafted these wonderful images of the…

St. Augustine is a very old city - so old, in fact that it is celebrating its 450th year in existence.  Because of its age and rich history, people often come here looking for spirits, like the one at The St. Francis Inn, the oldest continuously operating inn in North America.…

Would you stay at a B&B with dirt floors, cots for beds, and a wood-burning stove to keep warm?

Paul and Baya (a Navajo native) Meehan are betting that you will.

Owners of Shash Dine' Eco Retreat, they have created a place where you trade…

Arrival at The St. Francis Inn

Arriving the night before, I choose to stay at The St. Francis Inn, a rustic and historical Inn dating back to 1791.  The owners, Joe and Margaret Finnegan, are celebrating…

If you've never been to Vermont, this is THE time to go.

The maple sap starts running as soon as the days are warm and the nights are still below freezing.  It's a wondrous experience as you smell the wood smoke spilling from the sugar houses. 

There's a short tour of the sugarbush, a stand of maples where the farm collects its sap.  The sap is collected in buckets. The sap is brought back to the sugarhouse where it is boiled down in large wood-fired…

I stepped out of my hotel and into a time machine.

On the path to enlightenment, I might wind up in Woodstock, New York.  The town which lent its name to the famous rock music festival, "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" in 1969 is home to old hippies, and surprisingly, an increasing number of Buddhists.

I meet Shiv…

The line on South Street wrapped around the corner. Once inside the chrome facade it continued to snake around in Disney-ride fashion. Each person mumbling to themselves as they tried to memorize their order. The line moved along one timid customer at a time. Each one blurting out their selection, as if on the soup-nazi episode of Seinfeld. “One, provolone, mushroom with" (The 'with' referring to onions). 

The line bumped forward. This placed reeked with the essence of grilled beef. …

I just put my deposits down for the Sky & Telescope Eclipse Tour and Safaris.

As well as my Kilimanjaro Trek with Mountain Guides International.
