Man, life has dealt me some horrible hands, but all in all I was lucky enough to have traveled and dove all over the world. I have to say that meeting my friend Nancy and her husband (now deceased) took us to some great places. I would likely have never taken myself to a place called Papua New Guinea unless they hadn't gone before us and told us how incredible this place was. Then we watched a film one night narriated by Richard Atwood called "Papua New Guinea: Land of the Unexpected"... I think Atwood was his last name. He has narrated many a wonderful film. After we first visited Walindi Plantation I felt I was marrying a new land. My heart became entangled in all of the rich rainforests, the people, and the diving. Max Benjamin became a very close friend. To this day, we have a standing invitation to come back to his mecca. It's been a long time and now saddled with this disease I am not sure at least for now that I could make that trip again. I was fortuante enough to make it five times, spending as much as two months on one visit.
While it has taken me a while to see that there is life with Trigeminal Neuralgia and Anesthesia Dolorosa; I have begun to see a light shining within me that is ready to share my life, my stories and my photography. I'm going to make it afterall and inspite of it all.
Wasn't that a great story? We can all apply it to life. Imagine being a bird in the Gulf Of Mexico right now. You survive the mess, but you are transplanted to a new environment. Would you be able to adjust?

For The Birds in Sanibel, Florida
I took some of the photos or all of them in Ding Darling Bird Sancturary in Sanibel, Florida... at my friend's Nancy's place. I have to call her to see how she is doing. With the Gulf Oil Spill O, I just hope we can get it before it reaches her beaches.
