I live in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina. I love photography and scrapbooking. I have been scrapping for about ten years. My passion is making pictures of my four grandchildren. They range in age from 6 to 17. They all have gotten use to seeing the camera coming toward them. God has blessed me in my life, and I thank Him daily. I just recently received a new Nikon D90 which my husband bought for my birthday and our 43rd anniversary. I've been using a Nikon point and shoot, so I'm ready to take on more creative photography. I had an old 35mm SLR and really loved it, I was one of those who didn't think they would like the digital world, but I was wrong. It makes everything so much easier.

I have just recently been venturing out and doing a little photography for people who need some special pics. This is so much fun - I really don't want to go into business, but i wouldn't mind making a little extra to buy my next lens. We can always find things we need, right!!!

I really enjoy seeing all the different types of photography on Flickr and i am always amazed at how talented so many of you are!

I have recently gone through my contact list and blocked probably a hundred or more - if i do not feel good about your site - or you use a block head image for your icon - or you have no profile - i will probably block you. Sorry, but it takes so much time to comment on the friends that i have made that I truly pick and choose my contacts very closely now. If I comment on your site I expect the same in return - if that is not happening - I will block you then :) ! Hope you understand, but I feel that is only fair - blessings to all my wonderful contacts and friends !!!!!!!!!!!

You Are Enchanting and Artful



This is what my real name, Wanda means:

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.
You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.
You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.

    "Well I can't remember how I first came across Nana's stream, but I have never regretted it.

    ~ She is simply a wonderful person which is reflected in her technically sound and colorful photographs

    Nana is often first to post on my stream (I don't know how you do it?!) and is always reliable.

    ~ Nana rocks! Thank you"

    "I came across Nana's Apple Butter Photo (great shot), and I fell in love with her picture taking style. Her way of capturing people and events in the real life is outstanding. You can look at her pictures and imagine yourself there with her, that's the mark of a great photographer. Keep those pictures rolling I enjoy every one of them. Thank you for sharing all your moments in life with us."
