Hiking , Photography, Reading

I have a passion for being outdoors, be it working or just enjoying nature . Quite often while outdoors I may see something that capture my eye and I will take pictures . According to mark twain " A Person who does not read books has no advantage over a person who cannot read. And so I enjoy reading learning new things , so that my view of life is continuously expanding .
