TRI-STATE PHTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Next month I officially join the Tri-State Photographic Society, and will enter my first competition! I look at some of the beautiful photographs that these photographers enter, and I have to admit that I'm intimidated. Not that they make you feel that way, because all of them are extremely friendly, and helpful. But when you look at the beauty that they capture, it's hard for me to think that I could do that one day.

Many thanks to Dale, Bob, and Nancy for making me feel so welcomed, and I look froward to my first field trip next week. Now that it's stooped raining, maybe I'll be able to get some good shots this week!

PEOPLE ON THE MOVE

I often wonder why people move so far away from home. My reasons were not just because it was so expensive to live in CA, but because I never really fit in with the cold plastic way of life out there. I should have been born in some small town where I could travel and see the world, and by this stage in my life, come back home to friends and family.

If I could live my dream, I would be just wealthy enough to take a few photo trips a year, and then spend the rest of the time on my beautiful ranch with horses, dogs, cats, and maybe a chicken or two! Loving and enjoying each day as it comes. A huge kitchen, a well stocked library filled with everything from the classic to modern fiction. My own studio filled with paint and clay, and of course a bedroom fit for a queen! And yeah, I have to admit, the whole thing would be nice to share with someone special. Someone who loves music, books, art, & animals as much as I do. Someone who sees past the walker, and the grey hair, and loves me just the way I am. Nice dream, and I do realize it's just a dream, but you never know, sometimes dreams do come true.
