    It is a couple years old. The darkness of my hair depends on how recently I have been to the hairdresser.....and what color she has mixed up. Winking

    One of the things that REALLY makes me happy in life is taking photos.  It's how I met my boyfriend and it's how I express myself...I have a stream on flickr with over 4000 photos from the last 7 years and right now I'm chronicling a lot of my cancer journey there in between whatever else I happen to find to shoot...I don't suppose, by chance, anyone else here is on flickr?

    Not sure why the need to limit the topic to 2 pages?......what makes me happy, is what also brings me peace, and rest for for my "soul"......

    Time in the mountains is what speaks to my mental, physical and emotional health. It is what feeds my soul and my spirit.

    This was my first hike back to the mountains this spring, after my recon surgery. Nihahi Ridge Trail, Kananaskis Country, Alberta

    I like the photos. Makes the thread even more intimate getting to know everyone.

    I luv the great outdoors, hiking/camping etc and outdoor summer concerts.

    This is around the falls in Deep Creek (not my photo, but it is where my son and I hiked several years ago-so much fun and so very peaceful)

    The next picture is my son and me, at the 'Train' concert a month and a half after my surgery in July 2012

    He has given me an equal amount of proud moments and disappointment. we share our love of music

    I would LOVE to have pics of me with my grands in them, but for some reason I have no recent pics of me at all. My son brought out a family album when his latest was born to compare baby shots and I flipped through the whole thing seeing every one but me!! Kind of shocked and saddened me....sigh. Yes, we have a "blended" family, but all other parents seemed to be included, even my own DH.

    Ohhhh, Barb....I feel so sad.....so not right.......I don't have a album full.......but I do have some.......could there be more absolutely, but I have a few........

    I hiked this mountain, along with several others in the Lake Placid area 15 years ago with my husband.  The hikes were well worth the fantastic views.  On the way home from my radiation treatment the other day, my husband said that he thinks we are due to go back to the Lake Placid area this year.  I agree!

    Barb, the only pictures I have of my Father are from our wedding---guess who was behind the camera in all the family photos!  On the other hand guess who is missing in DH and my photo album?  ME!

    "You owe me."
    Look what happens with a love like that--it lights the whole sky!"
