Lin, I've been meaning to post this for awhile. I think that you have a real gift for photography, your pics are just gorgeous!
Maybe you already have, but if not, have you ever considered taking some photography courses for fun? Who knows, you just might meet someone special there that would share your interest (either that or at dog related events
). One last thought? I wonder if your local Visitors & Conventions Bureau would be interested in your photos (perhaps for $$?).
My husband walked by as I was looking at your photos and said "Where's that? It's beautiful!" It sure makes us want to visit someday!
