I am a native Texan, born & raised in Houston, currently living in rural east Texas, USA.

A couple of years ago I was given an Olympus E-410 DSLR & have been hooked on learning how to use it. In the process I have discovered I tend to enjoy informal, story-telling photos as opposed to formal type of portraits. I enjoy the simple things of life & enjoy capturing them in time.

If I have added you as a contact it's because I admire your photos & want to see more of your work! You need not feel any compulsion to add me as a contact.

My other interests are organic gardening, of which I'm at least 4th generation organic gardener; wildlife habitation; quilting; and scrap-booking.

We have recently downsized, moving into a small Texas dogtrot; leaving behind a life of raising chickens, beef cattle, & an English style garden full of perennials, antique roses, herbs & wildflowers.

I am the grandmother of a 2 year old grandson (Jude Leonard) who died from an aggressive form of brain cancer. He would have been 11 this past February.

And yes, I have finally learned how to live a joyous life with the hole in my heart...the part that will always belong to him.

I miss you Judie Patootie!

    To whom it may concern;
    I want you'll to know this a testimonial about someone from Texas with beauty, love for the family, charisma and CLASS!!!
    From the first image I saw in her stream and her candor relating who she is and how she is managed to be amongst my contacts I saw in Vera a lady whose love for nature, Texas, beauty and especially her family is obvious and most important. Her stream is a collection of steps; each one representing a part of life which she's so graciously chosen to share with the rest of the world and for this I admire her...each of the steps are a growing process for her and myself; for I see in her and her images a passion for life and family un-equal...a passion to live and learn from even the smallest detail how to make the most of life..share it with us and never forgetting her family.
    Do yourselves a favor and take time to stop and visit her gallery of life's events...you will not be disappointed!!!

    Best to you Vera
