OMG, I bet you have seen and done fantastic things!

Thank you yes I have done a lot of wonderfully exciting things! I actually started off my adult life as a Vet tech! The funny thing is I got sick of my photos being stolen and used off my website that I no longer have a personal web site!

sulamk, please make an album with some of your wildlife photography. It sounds like you must see amazing things just by looking out your back door!

So sorry to hear you have lost a child. One of my closest friends lost a son when he was only about 15 months old (genetic disorder). That was 16 years ago. I know is is still close to the surface for her and her husband everyday, as i am sure your loss is close to you.

Thankyou I lost my son 3 years ago after he had a car accident in Zimbabwe. He had afractured skull and every time they wanted to operate there was either no power or no oxygen. The inevitable happened he had a brain haemorhage. He was 40years old mysecond son 3 boys 4 girls will try and get an album together soon unfortunately I have just started shooting again and editing after badly smashing my shoulder end of August and having to have a shoulder replacment. It was stupid I slipped on a tile floor!

sulamk, it sounds like you've had a bumpy couple of years. I hope 2013 only brings you joy and peace.
