Intro: ..... Please pardon me that I have fallen behind in writing critiques. My daughter has gone back to work and my grandson is like chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe. He won't sit in a swing, a walker, a bounce chair, his playpen... and if I set him on the floor he bee lines it back and pulls himself up on my leg or sits under my chair. It's so nice to be loved.... :))






Hi, everyone.
I have been a member only since June '06 so that is fairly new. I am very grateful to all of you who have critiqued and made suggestions for improving my photos and answering questions on editing.
I will add here some personal information to introduce myself. I am the mother of one daughter and the grandmother of two rowdy, handsome, rascally boys (and another newborn boy!). The joy of my days. I am retired from the U.S. Navy after spending twenty years. A good life in some ways and very hard in others. It did give me the chance to visit many parts of the world I would have never seen and meet people from places I would never have met. Kind of like Trekearth. :)) One thing I did find in those 20 years. People are nice wherever you go. Well, it follows that you need to BE nice or you'll get what you give. Life can be very humorous and I like to laugh. (Some of my photos and titles will attest to that.) Taking life too seriously will make it SEEM longer even if it is a short while.
-- I have no "style" of photography. I shoot what I think is cool, beautiful, amazing, etc. Even the ordinary can become amazing under the right conditions. I am a perfectionist who drives myself nuts and then nuts again. LOL I hate it when my pictures aren't what I WANT them to be.
-- For those of you who are new here?? Write notes. Write critiques. You'll learn a lot by doing that. Most of all? Enjoy and learn. This site has been a wonder for me and I thank eveyone who has contributed to that.

There has been some sort of snafu that the link to my Treklens account won't go through, so here it is...
