When I retired in 2001, I returned to a hobby that I truly loved; photography. Trips to exotic (and not so exotic) locations on land, ocean and under the ocean have resulted in many wonderful pictures. Publicly sharing these is this site's purpose. Enjoy!
Our most recent trip taken June 19 - 26, 2010 was to Cozumel Mexico with a dive group from Central Coast Dive Center. We've been traveling with this dive group since 1998 and plan on many more trips to come (FIJI will be in October).
We also own a 32 foot Class C RV that we call HaRVy by Fleetwood Tioga. We started doing RV trips in a hightop van, then purchased a 5th Wheel trailer plus a truck, and finally HaRVy. Most of our trips have been out West with Yellowstone National Park our absolute favorite stopping spot. Here is a list of our RV excursions with links to the assorted galleries of images.

Fun trip with NYC friends. They'd never ever done anything like this. They rented a 28 foot RV and we had a great time.
2007: Western US & Yellowstone
First big trip in new HaRVy; a 32 foot Class C motorized RV.
2006: East Coast Including Bar Harbor ME
Last year for the 5th Wheel... Water got into the roof and totally destroyed it. Also, made a decision to move to either a Class A or Class C motorized RV.
2005: Badlands and Yellowstone
Had taken 2 years off as I was the primary photographer for the Kroger Golf Classic event held in Cincinnati. Kroger canceled the event and we were able to pick up our RV trips again.
2002: Fall Color Cruise
Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. Looped thru Kentucky on the way home. Was a beautiful Fall.
2001: Last California Trip in new 5th Wheel
Santa Cruz Operation was a big part of my business and held a conference in Santa Cruz CA every year for many years. This was the last one for us as I was retiring and would also be the last one to be held in Santa Cruz. Things do change..... We planned on this trip every year for many years.

A warning on this gallery. Page 8 shows a lion carefully extracting an unborn calf from its Wildebeest mother that 2 lions have just killed. It shows the messy details.
Truly one of the most amazing travel experiences ever. A true safari in the OUT OF AFRICA sense.
