Profile
I began taking pictures and writing as a child. My inspiration was my father who was an avid amateur photographer and poet. Throughout my childhood, he taught me appreciation of nature through a series of “Nature Walks”, always with our cameras along. He had a very profound effect on my life. My appreciation for his influence grows as I get older.
My camera equipment is a Canon Rebel XS 18-55mm. And I share the following lenses with my husband, CanonBall-II. 20-35mm, 50mm, 35-70mm, 24-85mm and 75-300mm. We haven’t had any knock down drag outs over the lenses yet…and we won’t…as long as I get first choice!
Oh, and I am not really as young as my photo…that is a couple years back.

My sons
It seems like just the other day / I held them close to me / To wipe a nose, and dry a tear / Or kiss a scraped up knee I wonder where those days have gone / Could I be getting older? / My blond ha…
Life's Golden Moments

Loneliness
Sometimes I sit in the darkness / And loneliness surrounds me / And its grasp / Is so strong / It seems / The only reality I cry and wonder / How did life / Ever come / To this?
Bandages
When I was small, / and scraped my knee / My mother would wash / and bandage it But who makes bandages / for hearts?
