The Great Wall with the Nixon’s, Nixon Library, Yorba Linda, CA
Cutout figures often make great props. This is one of my sisters joining President and Mrs. Nixon on their visit to the Great Wall of China. Mrs. Nixon is wearing her trademark red cloth coat. Shot at the Richard M. Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA.

The world and its diverse cultures are my muse and inspire my wanderlust. Since retiring, I have made the most of my inspiration. In the last year I visited Prague and Cseky Krumlov in the Czech Republic, Namibia, Sri Lanka, Istanbul (Turkey). I have taken two road trips in the U.S, with stops including Niagara Falls, Lake Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Carolina. I had my first taste of poutine in London, Ontario, Canada, saw elephants in the wild in Etosha National Park, and received a blessing at a Buddhist temple in Katagarama, Sri Lanka. My muse has been good to me.
