We started building this site in the fall of 1999 as a way of showing some of the pictures we've taken while on various trips in California and around the world and hope you enjoy seeing the pictures as much as we've enjoyed collecting them. Don't forget to take a moment to view and sign our GUEST BOOK and feel free to send us an email at with any comments or suggestions. Take care, and happy traveling.
