Welcome! Take A Look Around.

Welcome to my site. Here I would share things, like when I’m frustrated with life and whatever else that is currently happening in life.

At times this site might seem to be a little wonky or setup weirdly as I would be changing out themes every so often or change content around on this site.

All photographs and images are (c) 1997-2020 by Peter Smith except where noted with any other offsite images on this site.
