About AngelineM

me1

Passion for travel, books, and photography.  I live in Northern California, enjoying jaunts into nearby San Francisco, and roaming around the rural areas of California’s Central Valley with my camera at the ready.

I’ve recently given up the 9-5 life of the RN Case Management field I worked in,  to concentrate on the more creative side of my life via photography and writing, and to add a dash more travel to take it up a notch.

You can find the “A to Z” of me here

You can also see my photography on  my flickr page, which you can find here http://www.flickr.com/photos/angeline_m/

      Thanks Jo. I haven’t been over to Matador in awhile; funny, I just got a request to friend someone there this morning. I like their site, very comprehensive, but just seems more work to post something there than here on WP, and the friendships forged here have far outweighed the interaction with the Matador crowd. I tended to do more writing on Matador, though.
