War veteran and former National Park Service landscape architect John Moseley, 96, doesnt have many wants, but if he could, he said, he would like to go back to Amman, Jordan, to paint a landscape.

Moseleys home is already adorned with watercolor paintings from scenes that illustrate his travels to countries such as Turkey and Ireland. Other pictures depict adobe walls lined with glowing farolitos. But all reveal a man who can spot and re-create the beauty of his surroundings.
