Photography, writing, kayaking, snowshoeing, music - singing, play piano, a little guitar, bagpipes.
I enjoy nature shots of the ocean and mountains; grandchildren; pets; and anything that catches my attention and seems photo-worthy.
Music is second nature to me - studied piano from an early age; always loved to sing; learned a little guitar and bagpipes - plan to pursue further.
Enjoy the outdoors - in summer they is nothing quite like kayaking on a peaceful lake; in winter snowshoeing on a beautiful sunny day enjoying the snow capped trees or mountains, depending on location.
Writing is a favorite past-time of mine, but my dream has always been to write a best seller.
