My wife, Nadele and I live in the small retirement community of Groveland just outside of Yosemite National Park. Though it is a small town we are very busy with Rotary(currently President for 2nd time), Yosemite Chamber of Commerce, and other activities that keep us on the go.
I am still doing a lot of Landscape photography as well as animal wildlife photos. I do sell some of my work, but for the most part it is my passion and I just keep on shooting pictures when I am our in the wild.
We are currently planning a cruise to Alaska where I hope to get some great pictures. Nadele is my sidekick in all of this and after 51 years of marriage it is hard to be seperated.
