Hi John - it's been awhile! Hope all is going OK with you and yours. I've entered the National Geographic photo contest with eight of my shots and am letting my WS friends know. I'll give you a link to four I believe you can search for others), and would appreciate it if you could take a look, provided you have the time of course. There is a people's choice award, based on voting by the public, as well as the judges' selections. The cougar shot seems to be my top vote-getter so far although perhaps not the best photo. The two cats playing are next - they're my Manx rescues, Gollum and Aragorn. That shot was here on WS and recently won a best-in-show at a local photo exhibition contest. The hummingbirds are from my garden. But the NG competition is huge, with thousands of entries, so mine will get lost in the crowd. I just figured I might as well try, to see if people like my work. Enjoy! ~ Brenda http://www.worldinfocuscontest.com/bin/Rate?image_id=1006807530 and http://www.worldinfocuscontest.com/bin/Rate?image_id=1006807532 and http://www.worldinfocuscontest.com/bin/Rate?image_id=1006807528 and http://www.worldinfocuscontest.com/bin/Rate?image_id=1006807757

Hi John, thanks for looking at my albums! It is colder here than usual too. Southern CA is tooooo hot for me, esp. in the summers. Shoot, it's too hot (and humid) for me HERE in the summers....I know Petaluma, have a great aunt that lives there (mom's side) Oh, and yeah, I'll use whatever's avail as a "tripod" I just didn't have anything to steady the moon shot ;-)

Hi Johnny, I know you are living in the desert, but there are so many people around the boards with stories of very strange weather, everywhere. I was wondering if it is getting kind of different than yusual with you? Di

said trueblvr 11 months 26 days ago

Hi Johnny! Do you remember Sharon from Alaska who moved to Maui because of a call to her heart? She was buried up to her eyeballs in snow of our frigid northern state. Then, last February, I made an altar for her and everyone sent her prayers and well wishes. In less than a month, she found a way to get there and arrived on a wing and a prayer, not even knowing if she was going to be able to support herself. It has not been easy for her, struggling to eeeeeek out a living, but of course meeting many wonderful friends along the way. Late this summer, she met someone and her life has changed it's course. His name is Jacob and he is a photographer as well. After a whirlwind courtship, they were married on 7 November above the black sand beach of Waianapanapa. A few photos here, but also on Red Bubble. Aloha, and Mahalo for your blessings to her. You see? Dreams do come true. Warm wishes, Marjie http://travel.webshots.com/album/562121860BcljPR

Thank you for the kind Easter Greeting! I realize I'm more than a bit late in thanking you, but as I'm sure you've already guessed, I haven't been on WS in months! It was a lovely surprise when I logged in and saw your greeting. My best wishes to you and yours. I hope you're having as enjoyable a summer as we are!
