After a period of intense (!) self analysis I have come to the conclusion that I get more pleasure out of what I see than most people do. I think I would die if I lost my eyesight.I am always surprised that so many people are willing to spend a substantial amount of money to explore a new country or some beautiful location but are content to just look and have no interest in capturing it through photography. I think there are people who get their joy primarily from doing, and those who get theirs primarily from seeing. For example, some people, on seeing a beautiful sea shore, want to go surfing...I want to take pictures of it! Now of course most of us are not completely one way or the other, but I think we tip in one direction.
As I get older, I am becoming increasingly intolerant of winter. I am a color person, and winter is black and white. Here are a few photos that symbolize what is so wonderful about Spring.

Oh Uncle Richard, I am with you. I am such a visual person. I have a bird feeder and a humming bird feeder in my yard and watch them constantly. I had a canary family in my tree by my deck and sat all day watching them teach the babies to fly. I was so sad when they all left. I never get tired of the mountains, trees etc. Nothing makes your soul sing like the beauties of the earth. They are all reminders of God's love for us.

Joan, I could tell from the way that you commented so touchingly about your little dogs that you and I are cut out of the same fabric! I had a little poodle for 15 years and when I had to put him to sleep I grieved for two years. Many of his little quirks sound so much like your little Fozie and he was so smart I almost thought of him as human. My little grand daughter, Brooke said to me, "You know Grandpa, when you die you will see him again." She is in kindergarten.
