17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Drone Self Portrait on Long Island Bahamas

This is a self portraiture shot of me floating for the first time in over 30 years due to my recent successful Tympanoplasty ear surgery repairing the 30 year old hole in my ear drum. I can finally get my ears wet. My ears can finally be submerged and I can float in water. Namaste', Pure complete utter bliss!!!!! Huge celebration for me experiencing this ability to be in water again. I am truly grateful with all my heart and soul. I filled with utter gratitude daily.
