Hi to all,

I hope you’ll excuse my English grammar, orthography and spelling, French being my first tongue and English my second.
I live in a small town called Mercier just 30 min.out of the Montreal Island, being the biggest city in the Province of Quebec (the only french speaking province of Canada), married for 37 years to the same man and have 2 grown daughters 32 and 30 years old.

I work as a travel agent is my second career since 12 years now, I usualy have a 7 years work span, seems not this time…In the past, I have been a buyer for clothing boutiques and children department shoe stores, I also owned a shoe store for seven years, In my spare time, I took contracts on and off for 4 years in publicity and marketing, last but not the least , I am also an autodidact self taught (genetics also has something to do with it) artist painter (acrylic on canvas and oil on canvas ), I’m also a maniac of gardening, I must of read about 10,000 pages of gardening books,reviews, internet sites, in the past 3 years!
I also have a little fun and personal web site that I made for work purpose, if you feel like visiting you are more than welcome…. http://www.travelcumulus.homestead.com

My love for traveling, gardening and nature overall, took me to photo shooting, what I try and love to do, is bring emotions to the people that view my work, may it be… photo, painting, or gardening…I hope one day…to be able to expose my photo work and look anonymously to the people’s faces, reactions and comments, while they are viewing them and maybe take a couples of pics of them, he he he!

Camera: HP photosmart R927- 8.2 megapixels- 4x optical zoom. (would like to upgrade to a Cannon D80, when I have the money, some day next year…maybe.)

Editing 1: I prefer to try and take the very best photos subjects that I can, on the spot and learn from my errors, so I do not use Photo Shop to enhance my photos, but I some time use a program called Photo Suite 7 if some photos need a little cropping or a little more lighting.

Editing 2: Like the saying tells “Only fools never change idea…” . Finally after writing this profile I taught I would try some alterations on a photo of a little Cuban bird I took in Cayo Coco last year.
My very first work of the kind , take a look and please tell me your appreciation good or bad , I will learn from my errors…

I hope you all enjoy looking at my photos as much as I like taking them, have a good visit and enjoy!
