I really am having a great time with this; I'm getting out, looking and seeing things in a different way plus learning something new! My son's fiancé just called me and said "guess what I saw today? A beaver dam and a bunch of beavers!" apparently my enthusiasm (naturally I'm showing pics to family) for photography encouraged someone who has for the last year been suffering from such severe depression that she very rarely leaves the house let alone go out on a rainy day for a walk in the park!
