I am an energetic American woman who is married to a Japanese man living with a Russian Blue cat... I have always loved cats, cats, and cats...

 

I have an ever-growing group of teddy bears and cat collectibles, too. My other favorites are porcelain china and pearls.

I have lived in Yokohama (Japan) since mid-March 1989.

I AM NOT a CONTACT or PEOPLE COLLECTOR. I DO NOT just COLLECT CONTACTS.

 

This means that I DO NOT want to be just part of a huge collection or list of contacts either.

 

I am interested in REAL Flickr FRIENDSHIPS,

 

I do NOT need OR want HEAPS of contacts or people with 1,000's of contacts or people in their list.

 

If your Contact or People list is TOO big, I might NOT add you, I might block you instead.

Taking photographs has always been one of my hobbies. Recently, my cat, Megumi (her names means blessed or grace in Japanese),

one of my favorite models, passed away. My new cat, Marin (her name means from the sea), a Russian Blue, will be one of my favorite models.

 

I also like to take photos of my sock monkeys, teddy bears, and other things that I dress as a hobby.

There are thousands & thousands of pics on my computer from my older digital cameras that just did not last very long.

 

Then, I bought a SONY T-100 camera in 2007 May which was replaced in 2013 July with a SONY DSC-TX30.

I am surprised that I have thousands & thousands of pics on my computer from that camera.

 

My treasured camera (bought in 2008 Nov), a Canon EOS KissX2, is a dream come true.

I have taken thousands & thousands of pics on my computer from more pics in such a short time with this new toy

and will begin to post them.

 

As is common, I only post my favorites.

Some days are spent trying to scan the unbelievable amount of photos that were taken before digital photography.

But, recently, that is done only during my late-nights! And, these are only for personal memories.

I have known Chris for a few years now and she is so kind and gives freely without asking for anything in return. I left Flickr a few years ago and have been back for almost 3 months. Chris found me and welcomed me with open arms as I have been a lost soul on Flickr due to my sisters illness. I believe God brought us together and I feel extremely blessed to have Chris as my sister in Christ. Chris keeps me laughing and can tell when I'm having one of those off days dealing with my sisters illness by sending me beautiful scriptures and kind words to keep me strong. Chris is a must have friend, with a beautiful heart for life and our Heavenly Father and never has a bad word to say about anyone. You'll find no hatred in Chris's heart, only love that overflows like a river. Thank you Chris for letting me be a part of your sisters in Christ. I love helping out in your groups because we are all believers and life is too darn short for hatred. You are a wonderful inspiration to all. I'm so glad we met up again. Big hugs dear Chris and a kitty kiss for Meg. love, Sky'' Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgements he pronounced. ~1 Chronicles 16:12~ Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. ~Romans 12:12~

Chris and I met last year. Since then we are Batman and Robin, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Lassie and Timmy. LOL We can't seem to say something that the other doesn't finish first. We may be related thru some ancient ancestral union, but I believe that God's hand was in this. HE led us to each other because HE knew we needed each other. Although I can't speak for the years before I knew her, I do know that you could trust her with your infant child. She has the best heart ever and I could not ask for a better friend in the whole world. Like sisters we don't always agree on everything, but when the chips are down, I know she is there for me and I'm there for her. I feel very blessed to have Chris as my sister in Christ. Her photography is outstanding and her love for others beyond reproach. If I could I'd give her a standing ovation. Love you Chris. Hugs, JJ:)
