My introduction

Greetings - I am a down to earth seasoned gentleman with complexity like most. I am focused and goal oriented and have been successful thus far in my life navigating the challenges of life with the exception of finding the right partner. I love to laugh and have a good time. I enjoy watching the sun rise, from my bedroom window, over the ocean, peeking around a mountain - it signals the start of a day anew and an adventure to be had. I also like walking around people watching,sitting at a table anywhere in the world having a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or my favorite being at home watching movies together after a great meal. Trust me I really enjoy a 5 star meal, however, there is no place like home. I enjoy travel, having done business abroad and visited several countries. I hope to have a travel partner that will also appreciate visiting cultures, respecting our similarities and differences - trying their foods and walking their streets. A well planned trip - that starts with grab your passport and pack a bag is always fun! If you enjoy seeing new things, blending into the crowd, own jeans, a simple black dress, and possibly an evening gown - lets find a use for them. I plan to explore and photograph beaches of the world, and while doing so - enjoy the local experiences and casinos - I like to gamble on occasion. I have a passion for gardening and art. I believe being able to feed ones family from the gift of the earth is a rewarding and harmonious partnership with the world. In art I find peace understanding from what appears to be the nothingness of a blank canvas can come the beauty of a masterpiece. I am an outdoor person, I prefer warm environments with water, ocean, lakes, ponds, pools. I spend my spring and summers in my gardens growing both vegetables and flowers. Indulge me to plant a seed into the grown, watch it break the surface, form into a sprout, push upward to a plant, develop a bud, burst into a flower and open its petals to receive a bee or hummingbird to share its nectar. Nice... As pets, I raise Japanese Koi and salt water fish. Kindness to another person is a price we all can afford. In a partner I seek someone who will be able to allow me to support her dreams in her mind and heart and do the same for me. I may not run and grab every door to open or drop my cloak upon a puddle - however I will put my heart in your hand to hold and provide a place for yours with safe keeping. I am a protector, provider and confidant. If this type of man seems interesting, send me an email, not a wink or flirt I prefer those across a crowded room.
