Yikes it has been so long since I last posted anything. I have been very busy with my photography. Traveling is my goal now. I lost my dog, Millie, in March. While she was 15 years old, it was so painful losing her. I haven't cried that much in many years. I miss her every day, and sometimes even feel her presence. 

I went to Spain/Portugal with Jeanne in November. It was a good trip, though I would never go with that tour group again. I also went to the Palouse this past June. It has been on my list of places to visit and I am so glad I went. The thousands of acres of rolling wheat. garbonzo bean and lentil fields was a photographers dream. I did go with a photography group, and for this location, I do feel it was best to do that. There was so much to see, that we never would have found on our own. 

Another favorite place is the Berkshires. Jeanne and I just spent 4 days there. We went to Jacob;s Pillow 2 nights, and just loved it. It was so relaxing and just peaceful to be there. 

My next adventure is with Road Scholar, Wildlife and nature photography with a pro, on Virginia's Eastern Shore. I am going alone, but feeling good about going. 

Until next time...hopefully not such a long time!
