I became mildly interested in photography when I borrowed a friend's camera so I could capture a few memories while traveling in Colorado for the first time, back in '77. The friend let me keep the camera for a couple years, so I kept collecting other memories as well, though not many. Later, I inherited an obsolete SLR from my husband. He wouldn't let me spend any money on it, so I was stuck with the lens it came with and didn't dare "practice shoot." Years later, I bought a nice 35mm point and shoot with a zoom on it and thus expanded my limited skills a bit. I still didn't dare "practice shoot." When I started web designing, I saw the need for a digital camera, so bought a very cheap one. At 1 megapixel, it was limited, but took pretty nice photos, had a zoom, and at last I could practice. A couple years later, someone broke the thing for me. I had to replace it, so decided to invest in a digital SLR. Several years have passed, it's quite obsolete, but it still takes nice photos and isn't broken yet. I've added lenses and filters (courtesy of Ebay), and have a lot of fun with it.

I'd do it again, but there are two things I'd do differently next time: I'd drive instead of daughter (loads more experience) and I'd take a junkier car. :-) No tornado in that one, though I was plenty worried as we crept through sheets of blinding rain, hail, and tree debris flying from right to left. If there had been a funnel, we'd never have seen it coming. That and the trees were a big concern. It was an impressive storm, and the power was out for many hours. Insurance covered a new roof and siding; the roof's on and the siding will probably go up this week -- major exterior face lift means the house is finally shedding the previous owner's tastes.

Hi. Thank you for your kind comments. I'm on the opposite side of the state, south of Green Bay, in Packers country. Lots of rabid fans all around. I even live with some. :-)
