I am an Alaska author, artist, and photographer. My recent book is PURSUING THE UNTAMED and my oil paintings illustrate Alaska's scenic treasure, historic Native culture, and wildlife display. I am a spirited romantic who embraces the "call to surrender". I shun fear's restraint and cherish adventure's challenge. For a colorful photo display refer to http://adventurealaska-ltd.com
"What is Life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."

"I think over again my small adventures My fears, those small ones that seemed so big For all the vital things I had to get and reach And yet there is only one great thing The only thing To live to see the great day that dawns And the light that fills the world."

What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and there plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?

... I wish you my dear Friend a week full of dreams With Love Ana
We have roamed the wild country We have seen mountains grow from hills With my brothers and sisters And now our time has came The two-legs have come in And killed all of our prey We are all so confused Because what have we done? The two-legs killed my mother My brothers and sisters too The two-legs has got me. I'll be with my family soon. Now the two-legs is over me As I get one last look At my boloved moon.
Doug, Wishing you the best for your Birthday. Hope the weather there is good enough to get out and enjoy your special day. Photo taken in my yard ~ Feeder In The Pines. Sal-Lee
"If you have only two pennies left in the world,with the first penny you should buy rice to feed your family. With the second penny, say the wise Japanese, you should buy a lily. The Japanese understand the importance of dreaming..."

... I wish you a wonderful week dear friend and, Dream With Love Ana
The glistening sun is shining On the sparkling water, The sparkling water is connecting To the pretty ocean, The pretty ocean is as beautiful As a bachelor button flower, The bachelor button flower is yellow and blue Like the sunset sky, The sunset sky is giving peace to the Earth!
When I give light I also receive, When I smile I give light to others, they give light to me. It is with the light all of us give, all, that we are free.

... I wish you my friend a weekend full of light With Love Ana
There's nothing as nice As someone who shares, Your laughter, your secrets, Your wishes and cares, Someone who's there Through your good times and tears, Who stays by your side As your friend through the years.
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile... it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."
The rising sun age old Yet new and inspiring Lighting up the world With its soft pink rays; Just watching the familiar hues Dance on the still water And return to emotions That never truly left. Just as the sun sets It rises again Wide arms embracing a new day.
"There are mysteries about our love. Things that neither one of us may ever understand because love is an emotion without limit and understanding. We know we love each other but we could never explain completely as why we love each other. Love is not a clock. You simply cannot take it apart just to see what makes it tick, and even if you could, you probably could never get it back together again."
