I'm an over 50, outdoorsy person, i love mountains first and foremost but generally interested in anything natural on them, as i get older my body is starting to fall to bits, somedays i dress up as my alter ego Petra fluffy girl , fluffy since i can't abide cotton at times & have gained a love of fluffy fabrics such as angora, velvet & mohair, none of which are redily available in boys clothes so I wear girly stuff.

 

trouble is when i get in front of the camera i get carried away thinking what i'd like to see so flaunt myself to the camera, part wishing part teasing

 

As well as mountains i also love Old stuff, rocks, archaeology, history and as in most places the oldest buildings are churches though i'd class myself as pagan its all interesting.

 

If there's any photos of you on my photostream & you'd rather they were not just let me know & I'll delete them

 

Most of my photos, apart from personal ones & best are "some rights reserved" so if not for commercial purposes - copy them to your hearts desire..........

 

  

  

Got my first camera when i was 7, a Kodak Instamatic 126 - i had it for years, square photos!!!

Another photographing friend gave me his old Practika 35mm SLR camera.

At some stage I aquired an Olympus XA but lost it a few years later!!

Before i went to K2 i bought a Riccoh KR10X because i was advised it would work better in extremes of temperature - we had a difference some days of 80 degrees centigrade i had no problems!!!. For most of my big holidays i took slide film & now have the problem of how to convert the photos to digital.

 

 

When i first came to Flickr my Riccoh was still in use but almost sadly now, I've gone digital - firstly my old fave, my Nokia N73. Then i bought a Fuji Finepix A920 but I've now sold it.

Bought a Nikon D90 20/5/09

WoW had it two years and still learning to use all its myriad of functions

  

 

I am well over 21

 

 

If you are looking for things, i'm alphabetical, apart from collections which are a bit random but are a good way of starting to find what you're looking for - I've so many albums some collections are just one or two letters - the starting letters for the albums - its often how I search for my albums
