Currently in California, its expansive landscape is so varied I am absorbing all that is new and impresses me

The colors amaze, ever-evolving and drawing you in, even as life gives way to newer life

Pounding hooves make the earth shake next to the sea, roosters crow and wander and the rapture of Hawaiian music surrounds us

As varied as the clouds in the sky and the flora that surround you, are the beautiful people of Hawaii

Downeast Mainers thoughtfully harvest land and sea to survive, cognizant of the need for continuous renewal

Its not easy to survive Downeast; strength lies in the hardy spirit and strong sense of community among the people
