About Madermade:

I am a retired lady in Texas discovering the joy of photographing things that bring out an emotion in me. Maybe it is a calming peacefulness, the sheer wonder of nature itself or maybe just a whimiscal shot of fun things. I find this new undertaking consuming all my time and I am loving every minute of it. I love and appreciate all comments and this community of friends all enjoying the same passion. Our Lord and Savior has blessed us all by the beauty that surrounds us daily.
