Seas 'n Trees. That pretty much sums up where and how I've lived my Life, and where my interests lie. Ever since I was old enough to be out on my own for a few hours, odds were I would be out in the Woods and Waters... A career as a Bonsai Artist and Nurseryman gave me deep insights and taught me much about Trees and the Ecosystems that sustain them. When I wasn't working, I was often Fishing or enjoying other Watersports like Boating, Sailing, Swimming, Surfing, and Scuba Diving, but mostly, Fishin'. And Camping, Hiking, and time in the Mountains took me to other places Fish lived. I dabbled in a few other Arts, as well, like Scrimshaw, Fly Tying, and Digital Photography and Imaging but somehow evaded learning how to Draw or Paint properly.
