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!!)

Well I think what I wanted to say is said above (LOL makes my comment shorter :-) .. I simply have to say the the shot is wonderful, and I can imagine you lying there on your back with your camera.. just wonderful! I my self is fascinated by trees .. and even more after stating on doing 3D, there is something about trees, I dont know what it is. And lastly .. very fitting story you found. Super work!

Dear Kimarie, Silversteins story is touching as is your affection for it and this magnificent tree. And it is a story problem as old as our species. We each have a window of life through whihc others and other things come and go. We outlive pets, cars, many of our creature comforts. We outline our parents, grandparents, and many of our friends. And our children, and other friends, and the rocks, and trees, and or civilizations outlive us. It would be a comfort for all they love to all exist at once, to freeze amoment in time where all those time stretched memories, could all be together. But - it's not to be - nad we must all learn to accept and expect these passages. Excellent work! Love, Meredith

Hehe, thanks for lying in the dirt to capture this one ! One have to work for great pictures and you did ! Ok probably your work was more afterwards for cleaning, but in this case this counts too :-)
Beemer
This is a good one! Keep looking out of the box!...

I really do love this image, as you know trees are very sacred for me. YOu can learn a lot from a tree , some time when you are lying on the ground, a favourite space of mine, listen, and feel the vibrations of energy they unconditionally give you. Hug a tree and see just how energized you feel afterwards, see a broken branch and feel the sadness. YOu have captured the intensity of light on the knots and bark. I send you encouragement to keep on your journey with your photography. Judith
