To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Yum yum, That looks tasty........looks like stew or salad goodies to me....Mmmmmm Nice to see you doing something a bit different with your art hun. I probably have to many different kind of styles myself, but I love to see people that have diversity as well in their craft and I see that very much in your work and is one reason why I am a ardent fan of yours and love your work so much, and look forward to working on projects together and sharing them with the world.

Beautiful capture here, Mina! Oh, look...St. Augustine grass! Sighhh, but I miss that stuff...carpet beneath your feet. And now she proves herself the photographer as well...hmmm...why am I not the least bit surprised? :P Brightest blessings and huge hugs :)

Great textures and light! I particularly like the flaking surface of the mushrooms. Nice work! Math teachers have lots of problems.

it is strange how the seeds will remain dormant for the longest then excessive rain brings them to life for maybe 2-3 days and gone again. excellent capture Mina.in June.July we had lots of rain but back to not even a sprinkle

Something has gone ka-phlewy with the weather. We used to get rain, I mean rain, not this piddly two or three drops out of what should be a gulley washer. Now it seems to all concentrate in one area while the rest goes dry. Sigh. Too much of good thing .. etc. Anyway, I want to know, did you peek UNDER the mushrooms? Or are these toadstools? Well, I don't think they are toadstools as I don't see any toads sitting on them. What? You say that's just a myth? No. I don't believe it for minute! It's a cute shot, and now we have Mina, the Photographer as well as Mina the Artist, what other talents are you hiding form us Mina? I do love multitalented artists, always surprises in their galleries, so we'll be seeing a few more surprises? Holy cow, did I write all that? that's not a comment, that's an email!!!
