I'm an energetic but easy-going lady who feel as if I can do anything after a Rim-to-Rim 4-day backpack last fall. Not all outdoors activities need be that strenuous, but I love a good hike. Nature's beauties move me as much as choral music or a thoughtful gesture from family, friends, or a lover. I'm mechanically ept--graph paper is a magical thing on which one can draw things that spring to life. Anything from dancing and dining out to helping with fix-it or wood-working projects are fun with my special guy. Spirituality or an interest in personal growth are important to me. I prefer someone who is comfortable in social situations rather than someone more reclusive. Being widowed or on good terms with your ex is important.

I'm a freelance scenic photographer and am planning to do occasional video work with a friend. Thought I'd be retired last fall but the housing slump has postponed that! Want to be free to travel and enjoy life with someone who is passionate about life and love.

Assuming having a coffee date in a public place doesn't count as a "first date," I'd like to hike a pleasant, fairly public trail that doesn't leave us too winded for conversation. Afterwards, maybe a bite to eat with a glass of wine. I've learned that chemistry doesn't always happen at first sight, and that liking a person is key before love can happen. But if we find ourselves laughing and catching each other's eyes over shared thoughts, it's a good sign. Yes, I'd like romance, but I've met such great friends through online dating that I consider that an excellent outcome of an exploration.
