Welcome

  

My name is Ashley ,

I’m an amateur photographer , ( retired Surveyor & cadastre engineer ) photography has always been my passion, I discovered this magic world at the age of 10, when my father gave me his old Agfa Billy Record camera.

  

I love nature photography , I get so much joy taking pictures of wildflowers ,trees, butterflies, bugs ......

 

Maybe I should mention here what I don't like :

-portraits and people photographs

-street photography,buildings, architecture

- plane and cars,

-second life.....

-B&W photos

In one word: everything that is not Mother Nature.

 

All the photos here are taken by me.

If I find stolen photos in your photostream - I don't care if you bought them

from different websites, but you're pretending they are yours I will stop following you.

Without notice.

 

PLEASE NOTE : not one of my pictures may be used or reproduced in any way.

These are my photographs.

 

Please, don’t take it personally but:

If you have more than 100 contacts, don't waste your time and mine by adding me as contact. I want to keep my contact list small so I can comment on everyone's photos regularly and if you have an enormous number of contacts, there is no way you can keep contact with so many people.

 

I do not "collect" contacts, nor will I be part of your "collection "

 

I love flickr and all the wonderful friends that I meet here

They are important to me and I appreciate and I treasure friendship.

  

PLEASE , be also advised if you only fave a photo without leaving a comment , sorry but I’ll block you.

  

Thank you

Thank you

  

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life."

– John Burroughs

My dear friend Ashley... I had the honor to admire her fascinating work for years, but more than that, I had the honor to have her as a dear friend, a loving heart and a kind soul. The Queen of textures and dreamy touches of imagination, combined with her passion of nature and her delicate sensation she shows to every beauty she sees, from the smallest wildflowers to the magnificent skies, she's the reason the love of textures started in me, I've been always learning, and still, from her talented creative work, not ceasing to surprise me with every new photo there is a new meaning and a new feeling that takes me beyond the unspoken words hidden within her photos and art works. With her lovely and kind words on my photos, I learn more, I smile, and my heart smiles... and I keep my eyes on the exclamation marks, if there are a lot of exclamation marks come with her words, I know that I did a good job! :D Thank you dear Ashley for your friendship all these years, looking forward to having more years of friendship and knowledge. Love & Hugs... with my deep esteem ♥ Ran

This is what my friend Ashley means to me: Ashley means to me pretty much tenderness, purity, and sincerity, she was my first friend on Flickr , she had faith in me and gave me her unconditional support in all groups that we administrate today, she is always working in many ways, helping us to solve the groups problems, if something is going wrong, She immediately communicates it. She is very dear on Flickr because of its simplicity, of its joy , she gives life to flickr and brightens our days, each filled with much lovely and sincere comments. I enjoy her gallery and live the moment she was inspired to that Magic shot, her work is excellent, and there is something special that I like about the gallery of Ashley, her "ALBUM OF TREASURES" in the photographs of its treasures we can feel her tenderness and sweetness. Ashley for me is the icon of Flickr, the soul of this fine hobby that helps us take away the stress. My dear friend, there are many things inside me that I would like to express, and describe everything about you, my unconditional friend. Not everyone knows that Ashley speaks various languages, and Spanish is one of them. A bug hug my dear friend and I think I've fallen short in this testimony. I've learned to love you and that to me is "A gift from God." Mima __________ ESPAÑOL Tengo un bonito testimonio para mi amiga Ashley Ashey para mi significa muchas cosas bonitos, significa ternura, pureza, sinceridad; ella es mi primera amiga en Flickr que tuvo fe en mi y me dio su apoyo incondicional en todos los grupos que hoy en dia admnistramos, siempre esta colaborando en todo, ayudéndome a resolver los problemas de los grupos; si hay algo que está funcionando mal , inmediatamente me lo comunica. Es un ser muy querido en Flickr por su sencillez por la alegria que emana cuando nos la encontramos en flickr, ella da vida a flickr y alegra nuestros dias, con cada comentarios lleno de mucho cariño. Disfruto de su galleria y vivo el momento en que ella se inspira para dar se disparo magíco, para traernos su excelente trabajo, pero hay algo en especial que me gusta de la galleria de Ashley, su “ALBUM DE SUS TESOROS” en las fotografias de su tesoros podemos sentir esa ternura y la dulzura su sencibilidad , como ella misma. Ashley para mi es el icono de Flickr , el alma de este lindo pasatiempo que nos ayuda a quitarnos el stress. Amiga mia, hay muchas cosas dentro de mi que quisera llenar esta pasgina para describer en si todo lo que es amiga incondicional que siempre que yo no puedo estar para ayudar, ella siempre sale al rescate. Algunos de los contactos de Flickr, no sabes que Ashley habla varios idomas y entre uno de ellos esta el Español que pienso que algunos no los saben y eso es interesante. Un abrazo mi querida amiga y creo que me he quedado corta en este Testimonio. He aprendido a querte mucho y eso para mi es “Un regalo de Dios.” Mima

Dearest Ashley is one of the most beautiful, caring, thoughtful, loyal, gentlest human beings I have ever known. I love that she takes us on her serene nature walks. She is an inspiration to all of us, not only to see the beauty around us but to let natures beauty fill our hearts. Then to let the beauty flow from our hearts to others. Ashley's generous love flows to everyone she touches as she enriches our lives. Ashley's bright soul shines through her wonderful photostream and it is a delight from the first page to the last. It is filled with beauty from exquisite flowers, stunning landscapes, adorable animals and her charming Christmas decorations. As we go through life we meet many people but there are only a special few with whom we feel a connection with. In you dear Ashley I have found a kindred spirit. Thank you for your genuine friendship, true friendship is a rare and precious gift and I cherish yours. I wish for you the fulfillment of all your fondest dreams and may the infinite kindness you have shown to others return to you, multiplied !

Ashley ,.....the gal that holds beauty inside and out. That's what she projects into her photographs. She's been with me since I started Flickr. I am so thrilled to have her there. She'll perk up your spirits like we are viewing in person....such perfection. She has a warmth that exudes into her photographs. Maybe she's the sun goddess, I expect so. Her heart is of gold and we can view that in her photographs just by the looking. Each day is a must for me to go to her site. Thank you, dear Ashley for being the best friend ever. Thank you Flickr for the joy of viewing her magic.

Your love of nature shows through your great photos. I thank you so much for all of your visits, comments, faves, and invites on my photos too. You are one of the BEST my friend! Lots of love and hugs coming your way! Keep up the great photography as I know you will! Friendship Of The Souls by Lisa Teller Have you ever felt like you knew someone a long, long time ago? Another place, another time, a friendship of the souls? Two people who share a bond for reasons neither know, A feeling that they were friends, a long, long time ago? Did they stumble onto each other by pure circumstance, Or was it fate and destiny that played a certain hand? Two souls intertwined, they are worlds apart, But the soul, it knows no difference, in matters of the heart. Somehow they are drawn together, fate has brought them back, Each living worlds apart, they journey separate paths. When this life is over, and a new life begins, Their souls will find each other, two souls that we call friends. Your flickr friend, Kim

I am writing a testimonial for a person whom I have never met, never spoken and don't know except by his/her photographs on flickr or by comments written and one who didn't ask me to write, but I couldn't stop myself from writing. Seeing his pictures one can learn a lot. To me, He is an avid nature watcher, lover, a magician with a camera and a person having deep knowledge of botany. The best thing about him is that he is always ready to help . I love his photographs. He shows you such wonders of natures that sometimes you can't believe your eyes. Welcome to his world. Happy watching. Would love to meet him in person some day.
