When one picks up one's camera and freezes a moment in time we all get a glimpse of one's soul -Anonymous
“He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.” The Buddha
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” Ashley Smith

I have been into photography for several years. I received a Canon AE1 camera from a friend in 1981. I used it exclusively until 2005 when I took the leap and purchased a Digital Rebel. I have since upgraded to a Canon 60D.
AT LAST--I am doing my photography again! I found that macro work, along with landscape/nature work is my favorite. My nature is to look at myself, life and the world closely so it is no surprise that macro became a favorite. I believe that the universe is contained in every drop of rain and each grain of sand and I'm off on a journey with my camera to prove it!
I am an avid gardener inside and out. I have two organic perennial gardens two "square foot" vegetable gardens and I grow orchids.
One of my favorite quotes: "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each person's story enough suffering and sorrow there to disarm all hostilities". Longfellow
InJoy!
