About

I’ve been involved with photography for 20 years. I have dabbled in landscape, architectural, portraiture and wildlife and nature photography.

I’m now an Author!    My first book is titled, “My Mother Can Do Anything!”.

This is the story of a three legged deer who visited our property for eight years.

I captured images of her with twins, triplets, and singles over the years, and the
story just wrote itself.

 

I’m very proud of my second book “Being Bob,  the story of a horse.”  Bob has to learn that

it’s ok to just be who he is.  He learns that others appreciate his unique “Bob” qualities.

Thanks for visiting my blog featuring, most often, the visitors that come to our home.

    Would you be willing to participate in something we are doing for Susie Lindau on Friday morning? I am contacting as many of her followers as possible. My thought is that we all post on our own blogs on Friday with the same title, “Susie Strong”. The content would say something simple like, We are thinking of you. I haven’t known Susie for long but this blogging world is such a family. I thought it would be nice for her to see this message from as many of us as possible. Her husband is going to be updating us after her surgery. He can tell her or she can see it once she is up to it. Are you in? Thanks, Maria aka brickhousechick

      I don’t know how “Mama” came to have only one front leg.. I think it’s possible that she was just born that way..I think now, that she was meant to be just the way she is so that she could show all of us humans that being different is o.k.. I think that she was also meant to show us that if we have a disability, or problems in our lives, we can work hard and have a good life anyway. She makes a lot of people happy and that is a good thing!!

      You take care Robin! I hope that we talk again!
