(Favorites in gold have a photo & underlined ones have a link).
Every year pumpkin patches are open for the numerous visitors from all over the world to enjoy. I make an annual trip there - it is just 45 minutes away - and on the Pacific Ocean. The photos I take here of the pumpkins are usually the best I take each year as there is so much diversity and so much color.

THE BISON
LET'S SEE ... I was born in Carmel, California - my father was the Dean Of Students at Hartnell College at that time and Mom taught school in Monterey, Ca. San Benancio Canyon, Ca., in the country, was my home for a while.
I developed my love of the countryside in the time I lived there and also my deep love of animals in this time period, as well as a love of the ocean and all of the ocean's wonderful creatures, from living a life so close to the ocean, and having great parents who encouraged the things that interested me.
We moved to the San Joaquin Valley, to Visalia, California where I went from Kindergarten through most of my freshman year, at Mount Whitney High School. We always lived in town yet my heart was in the country. I was able to take horseback riding lessons as a youngster and develop a love of horses and farms at a youth. I met some wonderful friends in Visalia who live on in my heart & always will.
Due to a job advancement for Dad we moved to Northern California where I graduated from Saratoga High School in Saratoga, California. The following years saw me through moves to British Columbia, Canada, Lake Tahoe, and to Oregon.
I am back in Silicon Valley now. Divorced - and just recently accomplishing feats I never thought possible - a BA degree & even a Master's - but I am the same person - with or without the sheepskin. I just wanted to do this and found out I could.

I have a job, a car a couple of dogs and an adverterous spirit. I love music - as music really can move the soul and can feel like love searching for the magical words to make it all whole.
The ocean - there is nothing like it as it is constant and soothing and beautiful and full of excitement and relaxation. Festivals are fun but even with all of these joys in life, there is a very important piece of the puzzle missing.
What are the real pleasures in life worth to you without someone you love to share them with? Life can be wonderful - but I feel it is even more so, with someone special to share all of the wonderment, joy, beauty, music, and yes even the sorrows, with you, as when two hold a heavy load together, the load lightens for the person feeling the grief.
I have been divorced for sevral years now. Marriage can be a very tough committment to make to someone, especially if you have doubts and know in your heart you are not making the right decision, or the person is the wrong person for you.
I don't have children. I'm not even certain if I could get involved with someone who has young children, as I'm at an age where I'd like to do so many things together with a man and not have to share him! Part of this may be because I've never really had a serious relationship with someone who has a family.
What I Am Looking For:
I think I know more about what I am not looking for! I just need to put it down on paper real fast because it can be painful seeing it all in black & white.
I'm not looking for a man who cannot say the words "I Love You".
I'm not looking for a guy who refuses to work on issues that create problems.
I'm not looking for a guy who will stick me in a resthome if I get sick so he can be out dating!
I know the above sounds very "different" but believe me there are guys like that.
I 'm looking for a man with a good sence of humor and who loves to laugh and even have a few jokes of his own.
I'm looking for someone who will share some of my interests and I can share some of his. It does not have to be everything!
I love taking digital photos and even sending them to complete strangers - well I have done this a few times!
I love the spring & summer here as there is so much to do ... all the art and wine & music festivals every week ... the arts and crafts displayed are by vendors from all over North America. I have a very small collection of woodword art - some pictures containing as many as fifteen different types of wood - making beautiful scenes, mainly of birds in flight in different scenes of nature.
I have a collection of African animals I have displayed - one is a special gift from Guinea - the rest from the US and Mexico and vacations I have been on - mainly road trips throughout the USA, Canada and Mexico. My traveling vehicle my 1998 Nissan is for sale as I am writing this. I just got a new Nissan this weekend. (Just had a lot of good luck & good times with my 1998)! I put on over 88,000 miles on my 1998 car with these travels!
