Profile
City: Balgownie Wollongong
Country: Australia
My name is Valerie Hussain, I have always dabbled in photography but nothing serious. I have a love of things old and forgotten. I often wonder what stories they could tell, if only they could speak. My new love is bark and crystals and macro photography, although I am still trying to master macro’s.
I have spent a lot of years raising a very large family, and now enjoy 11 grandchildren. My family is now all over Australia in Tasmania, Queensland Western Australia, Sydney, Wollongong and I have a beautiful granddaughter and her family in Wales UK. I wish I had discovered photography much sooner. I am also dabbling in Tshirt design, trying out photoshop. I love looking at what other artists create both with camera and paint.
My images do not in any way, belong in the public domain.

Coming home to roost or ... when will they leave the nest
I wrote this poem in September 1997. My husband and I raised 9 children, this is ten months in our house in a nutshell. Tassy refers to the island state of Tasmania. thanks for visiting, cheers- Valer…
Mum and me and you
I wrote this poem in 1998 for my mum and my sister. We were living separated by many miles and din’t get together often enough.
