Japanese Garden, Portland, Oregon : I was visiting a friend in Portland, Oregon, in January 2008. After several days in a blizzard in the Silcox Hut on the top of Mount Hood we returned to Portland. She took me to the Japanese Garden. The day we went was overcast and was misting/raining. This garden is so beautiful and serene in the Winter that it is hard for me to imagine it's beauty when in full bloom. I'll have to get back to Portland soon.

Ireland 2009 : At the end of June 2009, Patrick Rowley and his wife Ann organized yet another "pub crawl" of the southwest coast of Ireland ending with two days in Dublin. We left Dulles at 7:30 pm and arrived in Dublin at 7:30 am which was actually 7 hours later plus the 5 hour time difference. We immediately flew to Shannon arriving at 10:30 am and boarded othe tour bus with our driver/guide Martin Raft who was called Matthew. We didn't go to our hotel but rather headed immediately for the Cliffs of Moher where our adventure began...

Annapolis : It was August 2008. We joined Don and Kimberly Kress on their 46' cat for a day of sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. We left the marina on the South River mid-morning. There was virtually no wind but the sky/clouds were phenomenal.

Dominica 2009 : My friends Kathleen Antona and Tracey Griffin put together a dive trip in October 2009 to Dominica. This was a Caribbean island that I had not previously enjoyed as a dive destination. The island is rustic and unspoiled. Flying in is a bit difficult since the runway doesn't have lights and there is no instrument landing. However once there the island is a tropical paradise. We had arranged our stay at Dive Dominica. The dive operation was first class and the diving was spectacular. We were not disappointed.

Tropical Dance Vacation, St. Croix, 2010 : For the 12th season in February 2010 George Marshall organized the Tropical Dance Vacation held in St. Croix at Sugar Beach. Contra dancers from across the states came to dance to the music of Wild Asparagus with calling by George Marshall and Lisa Greenleaf. I tried to get photos of everyone and to those I missed I apologize. Also included are two underwater shots of Gus on his first scuba dive.

Las Vegas - Grand Canyon 2009 : We went for a long weekend in Las Vegas and stayed at my favorite hotel, The Bellagio. Our second day there we took a sunset hilocopter flight to the grand canyon. This took us over the Hoover Dam. We landed in the canyon for champagne and snacks. We flew back at sunset arriving in Las Vegas after dark. The pilot got permission to overfly the strip.

Little Cayman 2010 : In May 2010, I was fortunate enough to connect with Ashley Perry and his intrepid dive group for a trip to Little Cayman. I had never been to Little Cayman which is a delightful 1 x 10 mile island population 150. When you disembark from the Cayman Air puddlejumper and stand on the porch of the 10 x 20 foot hut that serves as the air terminal / post office / fire department building, the adventure begins.

Bahamas 2012 : The Bahamas hasn't been the same since. The Ash Perry Intrepid Dive Group came together on an otherwise unsuspecting resort destination. We flew into Nassau, Bahamas, and suffered the inappropriate 1-2 hours it takes to clear immigration/customs. We loaded into the short bus and traveled cross island to Freeport. From the docksite of the AquaCat we could see the infamous resort Atlantis. We piled our gear onto the Aquacat and met the crew.... Mia, Ian, Jasmine, Lauren, Kelly, Captain Mark, First Mate Jeff... the other crew names and engineers elude me. After the typical first night briefing and setting up our gear, we set out at dawn for our adventure. We arrived first in the Exuma Cays and moved to Eleuthera Island for the majority of our dives. We returned to the Exuma Cays on the last day to dive the Washing Machine and the Blue Hole. The photos in this gallery are in chronological order. There are no photos from the Washing Machine where my quest to find the Red Tipped Sea Goddess was at long last fulfilled. There were Lionfish at every divesite; not so many but always big fat ones, and the reef in general was covered with algae. A bit sad overall....
