Thy word is a lamp unto my path and a light
unto my feet...Psalm 119: 105

"It takes several years to train the brain to absorb and store information important
 enough to remember.  But one can retain information best by paying attention to detail."




Hello, and welcome to my new website location at 1asphost.com.  When I started my
journey in September of 1999, I was a novice on the computer. It began strictly as a
 hobby photography page with no clue whatsoever how I could post a site that anyone
would care to see..I struggled with just learning the basics of putting a page together.
I am sure that anyone who has done any webpaging at all can relate to that feeling.

Later I felt inspired to compose poetry and combine it with my photography to express
variety with new meaning to my site ....The theme of my pages as of recent years has been
centering around nature....which I feel most comfortable with now in this stage of my life. 
The joys of photographing beautiful birds and flowers are such a good source of material 
that the "well rarely runs dry." My husband also is a nature lover and if I am not able to
 identify a bird  or a type of flower that is familiar to me, he usually has the answer.

This is my third website location since 1999.  Server hosts have either gone down 
or changed hands through the years and I had to start over with a different slate. 
February 01st, 2004 was the date that my Archives Index  page would see the light
beyond the tunnel, with selected categories of my favorite poetry and photography,
now dating back from 1999 to 2005.  My newer listings are posted at What's New.
 

After taking a home study correspondence course from NYI of Photography in September
of 1994, (when I turned 51 years old)  I later received my certifcate of graduation in 1996.
Primarily, I took  the course as a hobby to improve the quality of my pictures, and not as a 
pre-requisite to a career. It taught creative camera techniques  but more importantly, their 
lessons of life  trained my  eyes in conjunction with  my mind  to look beyond the glass.

Writes poetry with pictures,
Perceived through  my eyes~
Received by' the scriptures.
 Life  beyond a camera's  flash,
 From earth to paradise....

I have been busy entering some of  my work on the JPG Magazine site  which accepts pictures
for their magazine from members, to be selected by the judges for the three themes that are 
curently in preparation  for voting. There are  many  open themes too for entering pictures as well but not
ready for voting yet until they decide to use them for future issues. Your votes help to get entries chosen.
You may consider joining also as a member to submit your own work and/ or just to vote for friends. 
I just recently joined up myself in July of 2008 and  it has been a fun community. . (I do not
have my website  listed under my profile there, because of  bandwidth limitations here.) 

Here is the URL on the JPG Magazine site to see what I have up so far: You are allowed
one vote per entries.  Thank you!
