I am a pro-amateur when it comes to photography :) :) :)I love to travel to places where I can enjoy nature, especially places that are not too warm, hence the polar regions. I am fond of both animals (birds and mammals) and vegetation, especially trees and flowers. I also have a fondness for mosses and lichens, macro!!We are some female photographers here in my hometown that have left the local photoclub to explore more about photography. I like that! I am now looking forward to a car trip in the Northern parts of Norway this coming Summer and next Spring I'll be back on Svalbard for a cruise during 10 Days.Since I lost my husband some odd 8 years ago I give priority to things that are important to me and how I will live my life from now on. One important thing is to enjoy LIFE and to catch every opportunity given to really do so. Photography has given me lots of those moments. I am so very grateful for all those moments and to my friends that have been there enjoying it with me.I have been fortunate enough to travel to New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, Argentine, Antarctica, Svalbard, South Georgia, The Falkland islands, USA (Ca, Hi, NJ, Fl, Ny, Ct, Nh, Ri), Senegal, Europe (21 states)
