Thank you! I've got his youtube channel bookmarked. I would love to be able to travel to take pictures, but I can't afford to travel! I do get involved in what they call an online game, www.gurushots.com . It's a contest for photographers and you can win equipment etc. I'm at the advanced level and still working towards trying to get to the veteran level. I've made elite in 10 contests, but have to 15 elites in different contests to move up to advanced.

For whatever reason, when I post pictures in here, the org doesn't allow scrolling and they look skewed, but, have a page on FB with some photos: https://www.facebook.com/BrendasPhotographs/

I also write. What do you like to write? And what do you do musically???

Make sure you remind us when it's released! (It really sounds like something I would love to read!) And I will have to look into that site for some of my own work.

I'm working on a vampire novel right now, Vigilant, in which a 16 year old vampire, cousin to Cleopatra, turns Vigilante against those that harm children and women. Cleo was said to have died from an asp bite, the heroine's name is Aspen, and it is set in modern times. She had been used through the ages, by people in power, to get vengeance against their enemies, and has decided to take back her power and use it to improve the lives of people she meets.

You, too. I would love to be able to play an instrument and create music. But I'm afraid the only rhythm I have is the beating of my heart, and even it skips a beat sometimes.

My children are very talented artistically. My daughter is 13 and son is 16 and here are a couple of drawings they did:



My son drew this of his JROTC colonel.




My daughter drew this and plans on getting into animation when she grows up.
