This is either heaven or hell....

This is Kris Smith.. One of the last things he said to me was....

This is either Heaven or Hell!
These are a few of the images that did or did not make it into the Sept issue of Destinations Travel Magazine, but left a deeper impression days after I returned home.




By the time you finish with this hike you will know....

As I sit here now in NY I know whole heartily this was and is heaven...


From the open road to the cross roads this assignment was in my top 3 adventures...







Over and under trees and rocks just jutted out, fell over and found there place....

I was just lucky enough to be able to see, hear and share some of those things..

When its raining and the skies are black I am very happy ...

To be working inside.........I owe it to myself to show and tell, to post all / more but being overloaded is no excuse...

Immersed these past 6 weeks in friends- in family- in myself~ Overloaded with options- backing flipping over clients~ hopscotching over dreams~

But all I really want is another piece of this..............



And 2 other things.........

See it... Feel it.....Live it.....

I am now at 40, I have seen it, I have felt it and I lived it. I survived I get it: I found this little gem of a place on the east end on LI. Beaches galore, the randomness of getting lost and waiting on friends.. Like the many times before I have trespassed, I found or felt a push or pull to go ahead and do it. Most if not all of those times I have had this feeling it leads to little or no issues.

I hop a 6 foot row of hedges: I cut through someones precious landscape lawn that hides this mansion and I find a path that leads me to this private beach... I am walking on the beach now, I am jabbering on my phone listening to worst possible story from a friend of mine yessing her to death I must cut this conversation short.... I found my spot, I see a chair just close enough to the tall grass hiding me from the owners house and the still waters of the Long Island sound..... I find myself lost in thought, lost in images. Filtering thoughts pictures, moments lasting minutes...Many random eye opening images that sputter long enough in my head to leave its taste in my mouth... Accidents on Boats: cars: motorcycles: language barriers when crossing boarders: life: women: many to many bizarre incidents to name here...Then like a knife a multitude of positive life changing moments take over my thoughts like a movie I am laughing, I am secure, I am moving happily through these moments... I reach into my bag and pull out my phone and turn it off, I don't care my friends are attempting to call me I don't care what time it is . I found this spot, this perfect spot there is no one for miles no boats, no people, no gardeners, nothing but silence. I am free, I am clear, I am ... ........... I am now at 40, I have seen it, I have felt it and I lived it. I just want to enjoy this precise moment here on Long Island...





Once again: Whether traveling / working here in New York or San Jose, Antigua, London wherever each time I find a place like this I forget the journey that got me here/ there I only remember the SPOT! For the next 40 or so years I will remember the The Journey as Much as I remember the SPOT!

The process + seeds = life! Organic Foods at Northshire Farms NY~

Seed, soil, water, cleared fields. The process begins with organic seeds and ends in fruition. Northshire farms in West Winfield, A totally organic farm where growing is an art and that art is sold in NYC at the Green Market in Union Square every Saturday... This is just part one of the process that goes into every veggie, every egg, every day rain or shine, in the green houses or spread out over the hundreds of acres.. This is the life of one organic farmer and his chickens & quails fresh eggs and his exotic worldly vegetables.
