Strive to be first:

First to nod, first to smile,

first to compliment, and first to forgive"

Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved."- Unknown

these are the good old days you're going to miss in the years ahead."

~ Photo featured......

Today, one of my photos is being featured at the "Looking Into " photo site! If you get chance, I'd appreciate it if you could stop over and take a look!
Thanks...and have a great day.

" There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is! " ~DeGriff

Moma, she's lookin' at me...

There's nothing that I like better to do on my day off than grab my camera and find an out of the way country road. A place where there's plenty of old barns, grazing cattle and abandon buildings!

As I came around the bend, I saw a calf standing by the fence, near the road. What a find!

So I pulled off and grabbed my camera.

As I approached the fence, a smaller calf ran behind it's mother. Now feeling secure at her side and being curious as most youngsters are, it turned around to see if I was still there.

The other calf, wanting to prove it was the braver one, never moved one step!

Recently...

I joined a group of photographers at JPG magazine!

It's published 6 times a year by and distributed nationally. You can pick up a subscription or find it in US bookstores like Borders and Barnes and Noble.

JPG is a website. Here any photographer can join and upload photos and stories to their member page. You can also submit your work for consideration in the magazine.

So if you take lots of photos...check it out!

By the way...

I 've decided to start a photo blog!
http://adailyshotoflife.blogspot.com/
Santa was very good to me and brought me this:

He also brought this 135 page instruction manual!
The instructions state:
Before operating this unit, please read this handbook thoroughly together with the "instruction manual" and the "cyber-shot step-up guide" and retain them for future reference.
Thank you, but I would like to take at least one photo before I'm too old and feeble to push the button!
so, I'm learning by trial and error!

The link will always be over in the right-hand column.
If you can stop over...check it out... and leave a comment!!
