Chrissy, indeed the simple times are often full of pleasures we talk ourselves out of down the road of time.   Yet, I have not let photography become a "job" for me.  I learned soon enough in my jewelry work that artistry often took a backseat to earning a living and some became tiresome.  Photography for me has not reached that stage and I don't want that to happen.

Glad you stayed aboard...we all sometimes need a holiday and time but glad return.    Tom
