Very very happly married and love live in general. I have 3 stepsons 1 stepdaughter with whom I am so close to we are more like friends. I have one son who is now 25 years old who's character is so like my own its scary. We are both considered a little whacky 'cause we take life so easy for the best part of it.
I did not "take up " photography I more like fell into it by default. My son was doing a photography course, my daughter and I got interested in what he was doing. She bought a camera we then would go out on shoot's and debate hotly on who took what shot. Hubbie decided he had enough of these debates and went out an bought me my first camera. I was speechless ( which led him to say &I quote he said "I have never known you to be speechless for so long it was worth every euro I spent on the camera to withness this event". Ha Ha. Son and daughter both;gave up on photography so I am the only "Photographer" in the house.

My main interest initally was landscape and as I live in a naturally beautiful Area called Howth ( fishing village 10 miles outside Dublin ) I have this place well and truely landscaped. Oh but the I got into flowers and every chance I get I am in some garden center or the Botanic Gardens or neighbours gardens ( with permission ) or by the side of the road anywhere there is flowers; I am there.

I discovered flickr and enjoy sharing flowers.
I have to say going thru Flickr is really inspirational. I see photographs that really really inspire me to try and get better and better in my photographic skills.
