I love taking pictures... something about walking around with a camera in hand gives me peace. & ONE of these days.. I will invest in a nice LENS, a photo editing program, & a course on how to take  REALLY GOOD PICTURES. But in the meantime, I am happy that people like my photos.. you should see the smile on my face when people like my pictures on Facebook & share them.. Means even more when I can help inspire others with their creative talent. A dear friend of mine wrote this poem the other night after I posted these pictures on Facebook & I just wanted to share..  No matter where Be it gloom or glee Goals afar or fears a’near Alone you will never be. Thank you friend! 

I had forgotten how nice Fredrikstad was at night time.. I don't go out in the evening very often during the winter.. and getting a "night shot" in the summer is pretty close to impossible. it just doesn't get dark enough. I decided to grab my camera & see if I could get a couple of shots. .. I thought I could use this as a learning opportunity. Lesson one.. Hard to take photos when it is MISTY..  - next time I venture out.. I think I will wait until the sky is clear,, Lesson two. - fantastic time to take out the tripod sill in it's box

Managed to get my caboose off of the couch & get some much needed fresh air even if it was -10 I am feeling better & there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. woo hoo.
