I'm giving it a go! Brand new here to Steemit, and especially photo contests. 'Twas a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to enter but I think I've got it down so I will be submitting a ton of times just to get some of my work out there and to train my muscles how to think about entering. It's like working out, but for my brain.
If for some reason it looks like I've done something wrong, I would not be opposed to some constructive criticism to learn how to do this better and become a part of the community.

I was fortunate enough to meet her on a farm in Tanzania, where she stays and is cared for while helping out whenever needed. In the kitchen, pulling weeds, picking various foods from the garden, the list goes on and on and she's always there with a smile. I look forward to returning to visit one day, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Thanks for checking it out!
Regards,
Ian Hanson
