I am a great lover of the outdoors and frequently travel to Chincoteague, VA.  I love photographing the outdoors and would love to get pictures from all of the U.S. National Parks.

I am a Smyser/Schmeisser on my mother's side of the family. Here is my grandfather's family from when he was a kid. The Smysers/Schmeissers immigrated to America from Germany, but we still have many relatives in Germany. Here is a shot of an old Schmeisser homestead.
