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 composition Kimmers ! But looking it and reading your comment, I just could be sad ! The Bears are wild and we have destroyed their environnement. To survive they must go always more near the humans and in the cities to find something to eat... But what have we done in our crazy world ???? They must live in the forest to hunt, but if we have killed all what they need to eat... of course they came in the cities ! Grrrrrrrrrr that's make me really angry !!!! Thank you for this shot Kimmers ! V

Excellent composition of yogi, when I viewed your thumb, I thought no way!! then I read the bio. Could defiently be a campers nightmare if not careful..Nice capture..V

It is a fascinating composite. I, too am totally against hunting = a human with a gun against an animal is hardly a fair fight! Years ago on a trip to Yosemite, we foolishly left out a bag of groceries and our cooler on the picnic table (God- we were so young) and a mama and her baby tore that bag and our steel cooler apart. We were listening and shaking in the tent. Fortunately they didn't bother us or our car. Here in Colorado we had a young bear visit our deck for a drink of hummingbird nectar - but he was very polite and didn't disturb anything except smashing the feeder to bits. :o) CC

Excellent shot, perfect quality. Agree with Nathalie about this crazy world. I feel sorry with the bears. But your image looks fantastic!!!

Great capture! We only have two ot three bears left in France, government tried to reintroduce some (from Slovakia)in the "Pyrs" (mountains at the spanish frontier), but farmers don't want them. So you're lucky to have so many bears! And buy french cars instead of japanese! lol

LMAO at the car preferences of the bears! When they get in those car Heineken could close the door and start to sell canned bear! :) Quite a visitor here, Kimmers!
