Poetic Shutterbug

It was 1970, I was 15 years old and began watching the soap opera All My Children with my Mom. It was in black and white back then and only aired for a half hour. I liked it because I related to the character Erica Kane played by Susan Lucci. She played a 15 year old who was feisty, outspoken and giving her on screen Mom hell. That first day I watched the show, I became hooked and have been an avid viewer and fan ever since. The show has been on the air on ABC for almost 41 years. Susan Lucci as pictured above is one of the few original cast members left. She is also my all time favorite actress. This show has inspired me at times, left me speechless at times, had me heartbroken at times and has always entertained me. I grew up with Erica Kane, Susan Lucci's character and she has helped me through good times and bad times. I specifically remember when my own Mom passed away in 1994, the actress playing Erica's Mom in real life passed away around the same time. They ha...

This was such an interesting shot with these little bushes by the Palm trees which were located out near one of the patios at the Radisson . I just had to get a photo. It was so peaceful, sweet and bright. I kept snapping photos of this spot because it was so sweet when all of a sudden, Carmen appears right out of the bushes fixing her bra strap - of course I couldn't post that photo, I mean this is a G rated blog. And, if you look closely at the background you'll see her "date." That smile on her face and appearing out of nowhere in those bushes with that half naked hunk in the background tells me one thing - a Margiedale was on the loose and Carmen had him in those bushes. Thank God I didn't catch that on camera :D

Photo courtesy of www.chippendales.com I want to personally congratulate Margie and Edna for these ripe specimens. I am so honored and breathing heavily over the fact that I am in charge of the photography and chocolate slathering of Margie's men. Little did I know that my Margiedales suggestion would come to fruition so quickly. Margie you are my hero :D

I just received this award from Margie and Edna's Basement . It is a real honor to receive this from them because their blog is one of my favorites. It never ceases to make me smile and it's one that I visit on a daily basis. Thank you girls, I've got my zoom lens ready just for the Margiedales :D
