About this image:
“Pancakes anyone??”
Here I am sitting behind our 1982 Toyota BJ4 Landcruiser
making pancakes. Pancakes with strawberry jam where one of
the staple foods on our many, many camping trips we made to
the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada. A few moments
later, it was incredible to watch as a hummingbird fly
straight into the Landcruiser, realized his mistake and flew
backwards to come out again. The trips Leo and I made to the
mountains always took us off the beaten path and usually
included memorable events such as this.

About this image:
Two sides of the weather coin…
I particularly like this photo made in Glacier Bay National
Park, Alaska, as the mast of our sailboat, Mad Dog Voyager,
appeared to establish the dividing line for the impending
storm weather. On Starboard (the right side), the rain and
cloud mass blowing in with the storm completely obscured the
shore; on Portside (the left side) the shore remained
brightly lit by the clear sky over head. |

About this image:
High in the Rocky Mountains
This photo, taken high in the mountains of the Canadian
Rockies, followed the medium hike to the top. In the
background, you can see the turquoise color of Peyto Lake,
Alberta. Peyto Lake completely changes color during the tear
depending on season and run-off flowing into the lake. |

About this image:
“Feel the need for speed!”
This photo finds me ripping around in the tender of our
sailboat Mad Dog Voyager on a nice, hot & sunny summer day.
We outfitted our 10’ / 3m inflatable catamaran dinghy with a
20 hp outboard. This combination, spiced up with a little
craziness by the operator, leads to some high speed,
hair-pin turns and some straight-line flying adventures on
the water. You can see that the entire catamaran, except for
the outboard, has almost cleared the surface of the water. |

About this image:
"Mmmmm, now that's how you cook a marshmallow!"
As a kid, I already enjoyed cooking, but like all things you
start out simple. Without a doubt and hands-down I was the
Marshmallow King! The trick was to cook it close to the
flame, but not too close to create a flaming inferno, while
keeping it just above the coals, without letting it touch
any of the embers (they stick like glue to the marshmallow
and it's over at that point!). By getting the heat and
timing just right you could peel each successive "cooked"
layer of marshmallow off and continue until there was
nothing left. |
