What is your favorite type of art to create?

Photos of nature and animals and clouds in the sky.

Where do you find inspiration?

I am inspired when I see something someone might like that I can share in pictures from the world around me, especially interesting things in nature.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would like to donate some of the money to the SPCA in lake county California and also be able to get my dogs a bigger yard with a nice fence so that the loose dogs in the neighborhood will not be able to keep trying to enter into my dogs yard. The money will not make me happy but it sure can help out with my animals and for those who really need it around here where I live. I also want to be able to acquire some land for a community garden here in Clearlake California.
