I haven't been on here in over a month. I've been to Canada for a family visit and to the Central Cali Coast. So I have a few photos to upload. I have two trips planned for October and am looking forward to those. I just love God's creation and I just get so lost in all the beauty. As of late I have felt a desperate desire to go to the mountains.

I will visit Yosemite soon to get my fix. I'm also planning on entering some photos to the Yosemite Renaissance XXIV.

"The programs of Yosemite Renaissance are intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite. Its goals are to bring together the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment. Historically, the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State and National Parks. It is our hope that they can be just as important in future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage."--[link]

My trip and the deadline for entries work out perfectly. If my photos are selected for the exhibit they will be exhibited in the Yosemite Museum Gallery. gallery and then onto a road trip which includes a local gallery. I'm excited at the possibilities. With this crazy hobby that I love so much I really feel I would like to pursue the Fine Art route. There's so much to learn still! But I love what I do and am willing to learn however I can. I see this competitian as an opportunity to try my hand at preparing works for sale or display in a gallery setting. I'm also trying to locate more avenues in the community I live to get connected with other artists.

Thank you for viewing my work. I appreciate the support!

Coming Soon.

I went on a drive the other day and will be uploading when I get
a chance to sift through them.

So long! Once again it has been quite the year. I'm excited about what 2008 will bring.

I just completed uploading all the 2007 photos that I had wanted to get on here and enabled most of the new photos as prints. I wanted to start with a fresh slate for 2008...rhyme not intentional...

Anyway, I wish you all a very blessed and happy New Year. May 2008 bring you joy and be filled with the knowledge of the love of Christ.

God bless you!
love,
Me

Well my birthday came and went really quickly. It was a good day. I kind got started celebrating early as I was given my first gift last weekend. Anywho, now I'm taking a break from packing for my trip to see my family in Canadia! Woo! I'm really excited. I have one bag that is nothing but gifts! I haven't decided whether I will carry it on or check it, there's breakables! I finally get to give my parents the Christmas presents I got for them almost 3 years ago! I'll be back in 10 or so days. I'm hoping to get some seasonal shots. They have a beautiful fall there.

Thanks for viewing my work and for all the comments and fav's. I appreciate all the support!

God bless!
