I'm very excited to have won second place at the florida strawberry festival this year with my lion photo. I found this wonderful lion at the big cat rescue in Tampa. This old fellow is a retired circus performer with a beautiful mane.

Every time someone tells me how sharp my photos are, I assume that it isn't a very interesting photograph. If it were, they would have more to say. ~Author Unknown

Last year was the first year I entered and I won best in show with my eagle portrait that is in the first potn photo book. Ray : "My pictures are only worth 100 words"
