Welcome to our collection of memories

On August 23, 1969, we were married in a small church in northern Wisconsin. This year marks 50 years since that day. We've been celebrating now for well over a month; including a nostalgia tour of Colorado and an amazing party sponsored by our three children and their spouses. There were seventy-five friends and family gathered in (my brother) Rob and Diane's spacious, charming back yard.

Some months ago, as we anticipated the milestone coming right at us, we decided together that we would do something out of the box. We got online and purchased round-trip tickets to Norway - LAX  to Bergen, the train/ferry called Norway in a Nutshell to Oslo and home from there.

I've been taking pictures since that year-long photography class I took in the seventh grade. After sorting out the throw-aways, I had 869 choice photos, all from a land inviting artists and photographers to capture the spectacular sights surrounding us at every turn. About half of that collection is here in slide shows - and then as images in the gallery.
