What can I say about SWG that has not already been expressed in the some 40 testimonials below mine? You are loved my friend!! I guess to me SWG was an immediate FAVE and has been with every photograph she posts. This extremely creative artist/photographer has it ALL and more if that is possible. She captures a macro of our beloved desert environment better than any other!! Her range of artistic achievements are endless! I marvel at the beauty she always presents be it a gorgeous cactus bud in the morning light, to the front cover of Popular Photography Magazine. SWG should be on the front cover of that magazine herself! There is not a doubt in my mind. She is just as talented or more so than any photographer show-cased within its pages. She has been an inspiration to me since day one on Flickr and without a doubt she will always be just that. Never does a single image she captures with her magical lens ever disappoint. She always leaves me waiting for more and more and more! SWG, it has been my overwhelming PLEASURE to view your artistic creativity and to share in your always giving and supportive friendship! You have guided me on more than one occasion here on Flickr, which I am forever grateful. In closing, I would like to say that SWG adds a touch of class and subtle grace to the Flickr community that cannot be matched!!! Thank You, SWG for the gift of your friendship and the constant beauty of your creative spirit. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

In Southwest Girl's profile she talks about "gracious Flickr friendships and shared interest in the beauty of photography". I don't know which I appreciate most--her friendship or the beautiful photos she shares with all of us. Guess I would have to say it's a draw. Her brilliant shots (especially of our native desert flowers and plants) are always a treat. SWG's photos also carry a bonus--not only do we get to view her eye-pleasing photos, she also tells us about the plant, place or animal. I have lived in Arizona for over 40 years and am just now learning about native flowers and some of our desert critters. Like that overused quote from Forest Gump with a twist--SWG's photos are "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get". Another SWG trait I admire is the love she has for her Father. I lost my Dad several years ago, he was into making videos of flowers and I am so sorry that he never saw my still photography. I live vicariously through my sweet friend in that regard--the photos that she's posted where she mentions her Dad convinces me that my Father would have supported me in pretty much the same way. Thank you sweetie for your wonderful photos and your kindness--both are greatly appreciated.

SWG is one of my most loyal and best flickr friends. It is always a miracle how she creates the best photos out of the nature where she is living. I had never the chance to see the beauty of the desert but through her pictures i have a fantastic vision in my head about it. I also appreciate all the botanical or zool… Read more

Whenever I get on Flickr (which is every day), I look immediately for posts from certain people, and Southwest girl is one of the first I look for. It all began when I spotted her photos on the crowded page quite some time ago. Her photos have a way of popping out at you . . . they are always fresh and creative and unique. I quickly discovered that not only is she a creative photographer; she is very supportive of others. She always takes time to visit my photos, and she always leaves a positive and encouraging comment. Through friends like her, I've learned that Flickr is not just a place to post a few photos and run; it is a community of friends. I'm glad to count Southwest girl as one of my dearest Flickr friends!
