About Maria Dryfhout

I am wife, mom and grandma and enjoy all three parts of me. What started out as a hobby became a full blown passion for photographing anything. I am involved in 10 microstock sites and 4 online card stores where I sell my images on greeting cards. I also sell my cards in 3 local stores. After many hours and sticking with my dream, I am finally making decent money.

    I hope you had a LONG lens, Maria, and kept your distance from this one! Gives me the chills especially after hearing that two of my husband’s co-workers were snake bitten last week while hunting! A very graphic reminder here in your photo that we have to respect nature!
