Writing your first book is an adventure! I’m very lucky to have another adventure in my life, creating 75 narrative poems, that tell stories and adventures, undersea and on land, about 170 unique photographs. Talks with Nature, is a joy for me, for it is all about good times, and nature looking its best in photographs. I have learned such a respect for living things, that I consider a fish a person in their world, or a tree, or a flower, or even a leaf. You will read, and may even hear, fish and trees talking! Taking flights of imagination can be so much fun. You are invited to light up your imagination, that will lead to a new path on your map of life!

Coming back from a whale watch trip,
you never know, what you might get.
It's February fourteen, two thousand seven.
Whales are jumping from a watery heaven!
Blue Maui seas make special homes,
for families to grow, and not be alone.
Almost back to the harbor breakwater,
there must be more, to click the shutter.
Now, I'm an undersea guy,
with practice looking low and high.
There are two turtles on the rise.
Hurry, get ready for the prize!
Late sun, bouncing off the water,
paints the sea with more than color!
He's perfect, getting more air,
my only shot, with special care.
It's breathe and dive, and he is down,
to swim and forage in his hometown.
Just in case you didn't know,
here's some trivial, party info.
All Green Sea Turtles are brown,
which might raise a curious frown.
Inside, the fatty flesh is green,
so a confusing name goes unseen!
