THE MizzShann's photostream  

ok so, to anyone who may have commented, or sent messages in the last few months...or more...I was having computer problems, and camera problems....have a new computer...now, but no time to take pictures. :o( Anyway, sorry for not being here to get messages & comments.


I've led quite a life thus far. I've lived in a lot of places, been a lot of things. Somehow the only thing that didn't change was taking pictures as my life flies by. I was born in New York state, raised in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon. Spent my early 20's living a party life in Los Angeles, California. Then decided I needed a slower pace and that brought me to Eastern North Carolina. It's pretty here, but I miss my family in Oregon. Something tells me it's just a matter of time before the winds blow me back home...or somewhere else at least!

Before I moved to California I traveled, a LOT. More than a lot, actually. One of these days I'll get around to scanning the pictures. I've been lucky enough to see England; Scotland; Paris; Juneau, Alaska; Charleston, South Carolina; Tampa, Florida and California. And, naturally, I've been to New York many many times, my mom's family is still there.

Sometimes I don't know what to call my pictures...but I do like them having names. So, if you comment on one, it just might end up getting called whatever you say about the picture. :o)

What is it that we admire about the soldier? It is certainly not that he goes into battle; what we admire about the soldier is that he has the power of losing his own life for the life of a larger cause; that he holds his personal suffering of no account; that he flings down on the gage of battle his all, and says, “I will stand or fight with this cause.” That, it seems to me, is the glorious thing we most admire. –Jane Addams, Washington’s Birthday Address-1903
Freedom is not free, ask any soldier
