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.

I got to pet the nose of one of these amazing giants. The skin was so soft and his disposition was so delightful. I'd pet his nose, then he'd twirl in the water and make the softest sweetest sounds, and then come back for another petting. He liked when I gently slid my fingers around his eyes. The keeper/trainer person said we'd bonded. When I finally pulled myself away to leave the area, he was making loud noises and splashing water on everyone. So the trainer yelled for me to come back. I did, and the animal began that soft sweet noise again. I gave him fish. The trainder then got him to do some other things away from where we were so I could leave without the magificant animal getting aggitated. Who says there's no such thing as love at first sight. LOL. Bravo on this image!!!
