I am a retired professor who loves gardens, singing, cooking, and photographing my little world. Most of my pictures are taken in my gardens. I cannot pretend to be modest about my gardens. They are gorgeous. And puttering around in my gardens makes me happy. But I also sing. The current head shot that I'm using on Flickr was taken just after performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Lest you think the Big Apple is pining for my vocal talent, I went with a group from a chorus I sing in (a really GOOD group) and paid for the privilege to sing at Carnegie.
