For Maggie...with a debt of gratitude.

...this is a tribute to my cousin...a nature photographer on Galveston Island, Tx. that sadly lost her battle with an eating disorder in the wee hours of Monday morning. I am feeling a tremendous void, as it was she that inspired me to pick up the camera again after too long and start shooting nature myself. i still can not believe this feisty woman is no longer going to be writing her column, educating so many about the wildlife she so dearly loved, and emailing me with her totally absurd sense of humor. She wrote for the Galveston Daily news...shot nature for the love of it...fought vigorously for the feral cat population on the island, which seemed a contradiction to her love of birds...but that was what made maggie, maggie! She, with her wicked sense of humor and her voice for those that had no voice will be sadly missed....not only by me but by many. Thank you Maggie for being you...you will live on in my heart! i hope i can make you proud! (photo straight from camera...with a slight crop)
