About

My life had it's beginnings in Portland, OREGON but I have lived and worked as a documentary photographer throughout the U.S. My husband and I are fairly well-travelled, including throughout his native country...India. It is now a time in our lives that we actively search for a country friendly to the interests of active seniors...gardening, tennis, hiking, the arts, tennis, raising chickens, tennis, birding, cooking and baking...oh, and did I mention tennis?? Our ideal day would be birding in the morning, then fixing a wonderful meal in the afternoon and after a siesta, perhaps a couple sets of tennis in the evening. Costa Rica is definitely at the top of our list. Oh yes, my husband and I might be well-educated, but we both have learned that practicing the art of a simple, uncomplicated life is the best education of them all.
Interests: photography, art, learning, cooking, birding, hiking, gardening, , tennis, laughing, reading, native cultures
