First, I'd like to thank my Mother, who taught me perserverance...

This may well be how my acceptance speech begins when I win an award. Of course, you always have to end by thanking God for every opportunity that comes your way(which I do every day) and then I would say "And last, but never least, thanks to my husband who believed I could make my dreams come true. He is my true inspiration."

I recently entered a photo contest and out of 17,800 photos, only 1,126 made it to the final round. My photo was amongst those 1,126. I may not have won, but it certainly feels like I did.

Ahhh, now if only we can get the Primary Election over with so I can get out there and shoot some more!
