Date women from United States / California / Willows, 56 year old

Date someone special from Willows, United States. Not subscribed to the site right now, only able to receive winks.
Sorry, I don't respond to profiles without photos, usually not out of state.
Full-time student, commute to San Francisco twice per week. Freelance photographer, technical writer, healing arts practitioner.
Also interested in meeting men in the northern California area. Likely moving south to Sacramento metroplex or farther reaching areas at end of year.
I am easy going, kind, adventurous, spontaneous, energetic, intelligent, honest, open, assertive, independent, always in learning/growing mode, have playful sense of humor, am very active and never bored. Love the outdoors, camping, horseback riding, swimming, traveling, dancing, hiking, arts & crafts, oil & watercolor painting, treehouses, photography, technical & creative writing, gardening, reading, audio tapes & movies. I have & want a life that's happy, fun & peaceful.
Trust, honesty, integrity, being treated with consideration & respect, and effective open communication in a relationship are very important to me. I treat people how I wanted to be treated, and that's very well. No one with unhealthy addictions. No alcoholics or smokers, pls.
It's nice when a guy takes a minute from his busy schedule to communicate with me in some way. A small effort makes a big difference to women with regards to relationship. The "3-day rule" of waiting to contact a woman doesn't work. I like communication, & tiny doses can be perfect and enough. That's key in keeping me interested in a man.
I love romance, spontaneity, good surprises & receiving flowers. Hint: Simply one little flower will do with most women! Picked or store bought is equal to me. The sweet gesture & thinking of me & the flower(s) all by yourself are what count... especially when I receive the gift unexpectedly on an ordinary day other than birthday, anniversary or Valentines Day.
Love dancing, attending live music concerts and movies, arts and craft shows, sporting events, museums, travel and day trips, getting out in nature, going to parks & gardens, antique shopping, etc.
