Over one year ago, I begun posting on this Daily Gallery. Through all my messy shots , I have never felt like giving up ,and now in January 2013, I have the time to take short workshops and courses in photography. YAY !!!Also have nap times scheduled in between visits to Timmies" coffee shop.!! Thank you all smugmug members for helping me to stay positive!
August 2012: Please Note!! Thank you , thank you for all the help with suggestions for my homepage and the changes that have been made with your ideas! I'm thrilled to be on a site where it feels so much like Family and doubly thrilled to get feedback on any of my shots and a better way to work with them. My heart swells when I get such compliments as " your work has gotten so much better". Thank you W...A,,and Indigo.And everyone on this wonderful, fun site. xxx

January 2013:: Enjoying retirement a lot. It gets better everyday! New theme color cause holidays are over and this matches my ship!!
Thank you to all who are helping with suggestions re my work. I'm trying to do some of the ideas presented. I need to take a workshop to operate both my camera and the program I have for altering pictures, so I can use both for the best results. I'm a little nervous with all of it just now! I keep trying with lots of practice though! Feb.6/13Taken before "private property" , see some shots in practice gallery please.
Hamilton Brick Works!
I didn't know this very, large place existed so close to us. These look" wonky" but they are piled this way and cropping would take away the sense of how high the stacks are..These were closer to the gate with lots of others in the yard. ( the left side focus smudge was where I had to squeeze in between the gate hinges and the wall). They don't want anybody stealing their Bricks!
Got lots of clay covered shots of the railway tracks out front and I love places like this but it is a high fence and the clay pile behind it is part of a steep cliff. Near a park where I thought there would be daffodils .Got some blossom shots instead.
We went out for fish and chips dinner 'cause I was too tired to cook , but we went to the Legion. Such cute people there, good food, and it helps the veterans
Early post for March 24/12,,,It has gotten chilly,,,well 13 c.
