About Me

Carol: My husband and I are best friends. We have spent almost everyday of the past 19 years together. And most of it in small spaces. 15 years in a truck and as much time as we can on a small boat. Together we have 5 children. All of whom are decent,caring people. I don't think I can say anything nicer about them then that. I enjoy photography, and am amazed at how little I really know about the critters that share our little spot in the jungle. But I am learning.
