Well as you can tell by my photos or the lack there of I have been absent for sometime. For the past few months I have been working 50 hour weeks and also thawing out from a very long winter here in the mid-west.

I am always taking photos of course family things and events. Plus there are the winter photos I have taken. However, now I feel just like the flowers in my photos like I have opened up to a new sun, a new day and a brand new season.

It is good to be back, I have already submitted a photo to a contest so I am up and o the move. Please if you look at photos give me critiques and pointers on how to improve. I do not do a lot of photo manipulation I am just a little old fashioned and a little to poor.
