Welcome to my personal blog. I love family history, living by the sea, walking in the woods, nature photography, and collecting words and pictures.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours, may the clarity of light be yours, may the fluency of the ocean be yours, may the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life.
~ John O’Donohue
