I identify myself mostly as a former English teacher who often doodled on the backs of hall passes. Once I got in trouble for it. An old bat (fellow-teacher) told me, "We don't defile what the school district prints for us." I laugh at the memory. My children, my father, my sister, my niece are all gifted visual artists. See Carolyn Garcia (look for bird with cherry in beak or flying bicycle) and my son whom you can find under my favorites, hvala23. I write short stories, novels, etc. and have been lucky enough to get printed a couple of times. I love the outdoors and live close to nature. One of my main pleasures in life is to comment on other people's art, to get into that art, to absorb it, and then let the artist know what I think of it. I love flickr, love roaming the world for exciting art....it's like visiting an exciting art museum every day.

ann garcia is a very talented little pumpkin.
I don't remember just when & how Ann came into my Internet circle of friends, but it was a happy day! The contact between us enriches me, as she draws me into the more formal world of art, even as her comments on my photo art affirm me! Ann, it's a pleasure to know you!
Tus comentarios son siempre muy profundos y analíticos. A través de tu mirada uno descubre en sus propias imágenes, cosas completamente nuevas y reveladoras. Un saludo y muchas gracias!

You always see more than what meets the eye and you express your thoughts so wonderfully. You're one of my favourite commenters on Flickr, so warm and generous.
Ann is a diamond. She is so positive and inspiring in her critique. I always look forward to see what she has written. I love to look at her photos and her doodles as she calls them, but it is art. I would love to see more photos from her on her site. I am so glad to have "met" you Ann. Since I am better at expressing … Read more
Ann is a diamond. She is so positive and inspiring in her critique. I always look forward to see what she has written. I love to look at her photos and her doodles as she calls them, but it is art. I would love to see more photos from her on her site. I am so glad to have "met" you Ann. Since I am better at expressing my self in Icelandic I will do so here: Elsku Ann, þú ert frábær manneskja, óþreytandi í athugasemdum þínum við hinar ýmsu myndir sem maður hendir á netið. Þú ert jákvæð í hugsun og listræn og hefur einstakt lag á því að útskýra hvað þú sérð út úr myndunum, hvort sem það eru ljósmyndir eða málverk. Ég er stolt af því að hafa þig sem "contact" aðila hér á Flickr. Ástarkveðjur, Kaja

A jewel. What can I say... a jewel... such a wonderful mind... such care and empathy and compassion. A teacher I wish I had the fortune to have taught me yet Ann teaches me still... an eye that seeks the humanity in art and finds within the treasures she seeks out flecks of beauty, grace and purity that only a clear and learned mind and soul could have the empathy to discover. A touchstone of morality in a sea of abandon... Ann is a lighthouse of clarity setting out a beacon of brilliant focus and compassion in a murky sea of abandon and ego. Her pictures are a fitting testament to her creativity, her wonderful family and her character... her favorites a sirens call to an unblemished and fiercely astute eye for compassion and detail in the fabric of all things that truly hold substance. I am always honored when Ann leaves a comment upon any of my images as, well, it means something very, very special to me that she has taken the time... Ann does more than pass a casual look... she sees.
