My New Nikon Camera

There really is no way to 

THANK

the generous people 

who gave to my

Go Fund Me

campaign

I was truly blown away

by their immediate response

and encouraging words

to the death of my beloved pro compact camera

I honestly could not believe that

my small goal would be met by

72%

by these amazing angels!

To show my appreciation and gratitude

I have sent these

5 exclusive photographic fine art images

who showed how much they cared

about me and my work.

These 5 

'THANK YOU' image files

'Go Fund Me Givers'. 

Exclusive pieces of photographic art 

are theirs to do as they wish!

I am also sending these 5 artworks to

Darlene Tilley-Flynn

Ashley Doucette

who each gave me a special gift 

to brighten my day and remind me

to continue my photography.
(I will showcase those wonderful gifts here soon!)

and newly married
Mr & Mrs. Hughes

I got a very important package

at my door

Lucky Lucky Me!

I was able to purchase

my new pro compact camera

a new camera bag

(to keep it safe)

a new camera strap

(to avoid waterfall and lake accidents)

batteries

and a really big memory card

I would also like to thank those

who shared my Go Fund Me page

on social media

This was fabulous

and

really helped!

I promise to continue giving my

photographic art 

to the world

Thank You So Very Much

Another small way I am thanking everyone is my 

Fall Special....see GOOD NEWS image below.

8 Reasons to Practice Transcendental Meditation and Meditation Rooms

I have started to meditate.

Really.

I've talked about it before, but now

I am doing it. Really.

I've used Durga and a specific mantra to calm me for about 5 years now

I am learning more and realizing that this ain't no 

HIPPIE SHIT

This TM is really mainstream

It is a simple, natural, effortless procedure 

practiced 20 minutes twice each day 

while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed. 

It’s not 

a religion, 

philosophy, 

or lifestyle. 

It’s the most widely practiced, 

most researched, 

and most effective method of self-development.

I wish they had this on every schedule 

in every school

and every office

well...

everywhere

David Lynch is doing something about it.

Russell Simmons

Howard Stern

Jerry Seinfeld

Jennifer Anniston....

Paul McCartney

Ringo Starr

Oprah and Deepak!

Meditation can be done anywhere, but 

wow

some meditation rooms are so lovely

peaceful

Do you meditate?

If you don't

here are 8 reasons why you should.

I also wanted to thank you for donating to my 

Go Fund Me 

campaign

Very kind, generous people have helped

me raise

42% so far

Camp Bubbyland Pirates and Pineapples Summer 2014

My Kuwait Girl (left) owns a lovely summer house in the Kawarthas.

It has lots of lush land and spacious rooms.

It is a very old house.

We gather and love one another because

we don't see each other very often

Some of us live in Canada

Some of us live in the Middle East

The children dress up like Pirates

Run, laugh and play games

We enjoy food and dance

We drink a bit

The dock is in her backyard

The sunsets are amazing

So are the bugs!

Even though the house can fit us all

Some love to tent

Cake is part of it. Of course.

It was a joyous memory making experience.

If you would like to help me raise funds for a new compact pro camera

I have a GO FUND ME campaign right now.

(Here are a few images created with my beloved compact pro camera)

Thanking you in advance for giving "even" a little tiny bit!
