Kimarie Chartier here- 43. I live in Canyon Country /Newhall area , Southern California. I have always been an artist . I started drawing at age two. My Mother said when I was a child I always had something to draw with in hand and I would cry when the paper ran out (LOL) ..I went to art school for a short while and have taught art to elementry school kids. I have done many oil paintings , pastels and watercolors , but recently , have been intrigued with digital photography and computer photo art in paint shop pro. now, I mainly work in Paint shop pro 7 and 11. I now also just beginning to work in ADobe photoshop cs2 ! I also am a full time Mom with three girls ( who are all over my gallery) Annie 16, Janel 13, and Christina 10. Between my parenting, photoshoots, Renderosity and playing in paint shop/ photoshop I keep very busy ! I also have a sweet, loving cocker spaniel named Candi who is very needy of much love and attention lol She goes with me on photoshoots-oh- 'cept when I am shooting birds haha cause she is a bird hunter by nature!!
 I LOVE any kind of art .like to draw and paint with basically anything I can get my hands on (LOL)!
I have fallen in love with photography
opening up light and dark and seeing the limitless possiblities! But I do still love to paint too!!  Works like Nightfears , came from nothing but my immagination -drawing/ painting with only a mouse paint and smudge tools from a blank page in paintshop 7. I started out with a Nikon 7900 pocket cam and am at the moment working in photography..now also have two other canon pocket cams a sl900
and sx 100is - mainly all my work in my gallery is done with my little pocket cams - they go with me everywhere and is an an extention of my right hand!! I have a canon rebel as well but it isnt working all that great so manly using the pocket cams for now . Learning..growing and sharing on here is the best!! I don't know what I would do without this site it has helped me learn so much..( this site motivates me so much ) I love it here ! yeah so I got the photography bug ..and I also love to do photo art...!! I, every now and then I will do a painting or a smudging as I call it.( you can see most of my smudge painting works hand done with a mouse on the first two pages of my gallery!!)

Great image Kimmers! I remember at Yellowstone National Park (Jellystone?) one of the rangers explained how they were constantly inventing new trash can methods, because the bears would always figure them out! They had one, where the can was suspended from the ground, locked into it's lid, which was suspended from the ground by a heavy post. The bears just whacked the side of the can, until it crumpled up and broke of it's post! they ain't so dumb!! Nice reflection!!

LOL! I thought he looked a bit stiff, poor guy! Love what you did with him, and maybe for a moment he felt alive, or at least bearly! Bravo Kimmers! :)

because they do not get hang nails!!!good you had your camera with you. some of the casinos will not let you bring a camera in if they see it. when I won a BMW in Flamingo, if I did not have my camera I would not had any fotos of the presentaion. they took pictures for the casino but they was lost during a time of firing too many employees
bentchick
Yup! See those big guys all the time! Had a few close calls, but the best one I ever heard was a bike rider who hit one when it ran out in front of him! Actually scared the bear more then it did him! Yow!

LOL. I thought it was a Poser Bear at first. lol. This is a great image. He looks so inquisitive. I too am against hunting for sport. It is one thing to hunt because you need to eat and another to do it for the fun of it. Great job. Hugsssssss hon.
