As a woman photographer, perhaps I am more concerned about the emotional aspect of art.  I truly believe the old adage " a picture is worth a thousand words" particularly when the picture is a photograph.

Due to our hectic lives we may not be able to take the time to stop and enjoy the beauty of creation.  We may want a tangible object to hold, and reflect upon.  Something to capture our thoughts and feelings of past moments . I believe a photograph can do just that.  A photo can  stir a heart as much as a beautiful poem, hence the name of my collection.

I hope my photos will help you see your world from a slightly different perspective. Perhaps they can evoke a memory, inspire a dream or at least bring a smile.

It's all about me...at least this part is!

I've been interested in art in general and photography specifically for many years but the normal routine of life with a family made it difficult to pursue.

Now, since my kids are grown and on their own, I have more time to play with my camera.

Since I have some annoying health problems I often have to resort to "drive by" or "close to the parking lot" shooting but where there is a will...

For that i have to thank my long-suffering husband of 30+ years who drives me around for hours, lugs my equipment for me, waits while I take 100 photos of the same plant...and rarely complains!

Thanks for visiting  my site!
