I love all aspects of nature (except the bugs). A perfect
weekend would be one spent with my family, camping, fishing, and taking photographs of all
the fun we have. I especially enjoy watching my son experience all these beauties
for the first time.
 | Camping--you
don't have to travel very far to enjoy the beauty of nature. Ohio has many wonderful State
Parks just waiting to be enjoyed. When I was a kid my family and I used to go camping
every weekend. We usually went to Tappan Lake. My
mom and I would go out on the boat and fish until late at night. We used to make pies and
other great food over a fire. I have so many great memories from all the times we spent
camping.

| Fishing-- I especially enjoy
fishing. Now this isn't to say that I am a good fisher just that I enjoy doing it.
(I am not going to use maggots or minnows for bait. YUK!) (Just give me the
traditional earth worms.) I have always wanted to go fishing in the ocean. This July
I am going to Virginia Beach
and plan to do lot's of fishing. However, if I catch anything other than a fish it's
getting thrown back (as I run the other direction haha!) My mother is the one that got me
started on fishing. One would think that I was influenced by my father, but he never liked
fishing. I got this from my mother.

| Photography--I have always been interested in
photography. I got my first camera (an old 110) at the age of five. I always dreamed
of being a photographer for National
Geographic. I wanted to take photos of all the beautiful animals accross the
world. BUT.... that wasn't a reality for me. I started going to school for
photojournalism. Then I got married and had a child and realized that my family was
more important to me than the stiff competition of a career as a photojournalist. I still
take photos and enter them into competition whenever possible. Someday when I retire maybe
I will work as a freelance photojournalist, but now I would much rather enjoy the life I
have made for myself. It is almost like I get the best of both worlds. I get to
enjoy being a mother and wife AND get to enjoy photography. |
Say Cheese!
