im a 60 year old  male - i have been in a wheel chair

since 1973 as result of a logging accident which

left me a paraplegic -

i  enjoy camping  fishing and  nature photography.

i bought my first camera at age ten- 2 box tops

from kellogs corn flakes and $2.00

that got me started in my interests in nature.

i did a three year  marsh survey  in  on a ducks-unlimited

project in - BURGES  AND JAMES GADSON PROVINCIAL PARK

canadian national parks  that i spent  over 30 years in

taking photos - i spent 14 years studing the  bighorn

sheep at tangle creek -columbia icefields -jasper  park

in burges and gadson park is

where i  really got hooked on bird watching

and data gathering-  in (3) years i counted 139

species on birds in a- 401 hectar size park.

the grizz( marian ) would help me in the canoe

and would leave me thier for 4- 8 hours  and i would

canoe the marsh looking for nest- birds animals ect .

i took    LYRIK  my lab with me on all canoe trips

i have taken photo trips  to - alaska- yukon and north west territories- alberta- saskatchewan  - all in CANADA

and washington- oregon- idaho-montana- wyoming

in the  UNITED STATES.

all in a camper truck or truck and 5th wheel  trailer.

favourite places i have been to are

denali national park in alaska- dempster highway

in the yukon and yellowstone national park- wyoming .

now i live on an island  and have slowed down

feed birds on our property and watch AFRICAM.

i live with a lovley lady( marian  - the grizz)

marian got the name -GRIZZ- from me  becuase

this wonderfull person would go to work in a  bank

for 20 years and be so nice to all the people

then she came home and turned into a grizzly bear lol

thats why i was allways in the bush - or parks

we have have two pets- cody cat- pepper  min-pin

i enjoy the  africam site  because of the participation

of the nkorho- elephant plains lodges  and staff

with africam  members- thats all folks
