Well ... I am addicted to Flickr! And I think that is just fine. It's a wonderful hobby and creative outlet.

I have met truly wonderful, caring Godly friends here that I consider a blessing.

I am a frustrated "wanna be" photographer. LOL I am still using a point and shoot (albeit a good p&s) and I look forward to the day when I get my first DSLR and learn how to use it.

Update: 8/2010

I have had my first DSLR for about a year now. Thanks to the uber fabulous Sheree Zielke www.flickr.com/photos/97705796@N00/

I am loving every minute of using my Olympus 520. So much to learn!

I can't help seeing almost everything I look at in a different way than most people. When I read a brochure or pamphlet, I find myself looking at the layout and the technical aspect of it and forget that I'm supposed to actually read the words.

I always want to capture what I see, but most times that just doesn't pan out. But if you could see the work that is in my head ... boy would you be impressed! ;-)

I am a married for a long time mother and grandmother living in the Philadelphia Pa suburbs. I was born and raised here. We had the privilege of living in Bonita Springs Florida for three years and I miss it terribly. But I know this is where the Lord wants me right now, so it's all good.

Flickr on! ♥

I am fighting stage 4 cancer! It's a whole new life, for sure. A 24/7 battle. To God be the glory!

    "I just have to "sing the praises" of my friend Sharon! Not only is she a good friend and encourager, but she is my sister in Christ!

    Sharon's eye for beauty and detail amaze me! She "captures the light", which makes her shots shine no matter what camera she is using.....but it does blow my mind that she gets the kind of quality she does with a point and shoot! That goes to show its not all about the gear!

    Sharon you are a fantastic photog and a good friend!

    Blessings,
    Leisa"
