My name is Joann, I am in my early 60’s and I live in the proud state of Washington My husband and I have been married for over 35 years and he takes all my photos. We have two grown-up children and four grand children. Having recently retired I am looking forward to getting out and about with Rufus, who is also retired, and taking many more photos and living life to the full. In answer to many of the e-mails that I have received, I will not participate in any on-line chat. However, we love to trade pictures and take pictures of our friends that come and visit us at home. I appreciate the positive comments on my photos. However, I find rude or crude comments an absolute turn-off, so please respect my sensitive nature. I will block anyone leaving crude comments. Joann
