Last Thursday I had to say goodbye to my beautiful friend and dog after 14 years. I've had her since I was 13! It was not an easy thing to have to do but it was the right decision. It felt so wrong to let the vet give her the injections...

I try to remember that the last thing she did was to lick away my tears before she started getting tiered and going to sleep with her head in my hands....


You were such a good dog and I will miss you so much, Cleopatra ...  

Well I haven't been very active lately. I've had enough with trying to sort my head out and trying to get my energy back. I've still been taking pictures but they've been "normal" if I can call them that , not dA material.
Anyway, I've now got my new camera and I love it.
My husbands parents brought it over for me when they came over between christmas and new year.
Because paypal messed up the payment for the lenses they've only just arrived in England. So I'm picking them up when we go there in two weeks (ish..).
I couldn't wait that long to try the camera out of course so we bought a 50mm f/1,8 to have untill we get the other lenses
I must say I do love that lens.Its sharp and fun to use Can't wait for the f/1,4 we've ordered..

This is from a party just a few days after I got the camera. It was quite dark so I tried out the iso on the D3 and I was amazed. It's brilliant. I'm still getting to know it but I already love it


  

As for my mental state... its going in the right direction at least. I've taken some steps that will help me move on. This woman that I've been going to said that in theory it can take four times as long to get over something I've been through, than how long it was going on for before it stopped. In my case, because there were more than one thing that happened over time, I shouldn't be upset if I'm still struggeling at times for a few years still. It's something that will never leave but I just have to try and live with it. It really destroyed something inside of me that is difficult to explain. And my selfesteem is really low atmo. It's never been great but I just think I suck at everything. And the only reason I uploaded the last two pics is because my husband said I should. NOTHING I do is good enough.. I know I'm going on now and I'm complaining alot but it's just how I feel atmo.

But anyway I hope your'e ok out there and I will try to be a bit more active. I might start featuring people again too sometime cause there are so much beatuiful art out there.. One day..

I truly, madly, deaply love all the comments and fav's..   

I have not been here much the last .. I  don't know. Anyway.. I'm trying now to just make myself do things I know I enjoy deed down. I've just lost all spark. But I'm tryign at least.

On a more positive note I'm changing gear. From Olympus to Nikon.That's really exiting
We've acctually already bought a Nikon D3 but it's in England atmo at my inlaws' house. And We've gotta wait till we've sold all our Olympus gear before we can afford to buy lenses and stuff like that...
But it is really exiting anyway. I can't wait

I'll see you around and thanx for all your support, wether it's by comments , features , fav's or just browsing. I appreciate it

I'm gonna be away for a bit...

I might pop in every now and then , when i feel like it..
to support you guys and maybe feel a bit better by browsing through some of your fantastic art..


Anyway I hope you're all ok..
