I've been with flickr for almost five years now. I've met some incredible friends and seen some gorgeous shots...I'll be here as long as flickr is. Unfortunately I cannot make anymore friends/contacts. I have so many now...if only I'd listened to sound advice back then but I didn't. I will however try to visit you when you visit me. Have fun! That's what flickr is all about!!!

Sally is a very special person…so kind and caring… a truly genuine friend that I’m lucky and happy to know…not only that but she is so skillful at shooting sky photographs…of course her other photos are so beautiful too like say those of horses and roses. Still being in constant search for whatever is unusual about the sky, her creative imagination beautifully interprets clouds in the very pleasing shapes and forms that I love to call her “The Cloud Catcher”! So impressive! Love you friend…A sincere blessing from Sal to Sal…Hugs!

Having known Basilly on Flickr for way over a year, writing a testimonial to show my appreciation for her is long overdue. Her photography is filled with a life-loving Texas country charm that matches her personal enthusiasm. Her subjects range from the lofty inspirational outdoors to wide-eyed cute kittens to happy roadside neighbor horses with witty captions. Basilly's favorite symbol, the heart, suits her well. (She's always finding heart-shaped clouds decorating the skies.) A real day-brightener, Basilly has a kind word for everyone. I can always count on her friendliness whether I visit her photostream or she visits mine. :-)

Sally is one of the dearest people I have ever known. I love the quote she has on her profile page. ..".In time you may not remember what they said. You may not remember what they did. But you'll always remember how they made you feel." Everytime Sally visits she leaves the most beautiful and encouraging words. I feel so loved and cared about. She makes me feel that I "matter." That is a wonderful gift and she uses her gift so beautifully. Sally is an incredible photographer. Her love of all God's creation is so evident in every photo she takes. I love the variety she gives us. Her beautiful spirit shines through each one of her photographs. I do not know exactly how or when I met Sally, I am only so blessed and thankful I did. Sally, you are such a precious person. Thank you for all of the love you give. I will always remember the way you make me feel! It is truly an honor to have you for a friend!

Sally, you have been such a bright spark in my life, I so look forward to see what you will come up with next to delight our senses or remind us to open our hearts (by finding the hearts! LOL).

For individuals who want to know what the definition of Christ like is, they need to look no further than Sally. For me she shows a true Christ like presense in her lovely caring personality. Her love for those around her, her pets and nature are revealed in her photos, and her response of comments on numerous flickr photos. Since I've been on flickr she has truely been a blessing for me from afar. Her photos bring smiles to my face and gentle tears at times. The comments that she places within this little rectangle box to somehow reach out and touch those around the world, make you feel like she is right across the table from you Sally always makes time for others and in doing so she's giving each of us a priceless gift. A piece of her heart! I know God smiles down on you Sally, everytime you make a new friend on flickr. Because you reveal Him thru your loving character. People want to learn humbleness they should take Sally lessons. You're truely one who thinks of others first, so from the bottom of my heart I wish you the happiest of lifes treasures, the beautifulest of sunsets and sunrises! The joyous of laughter and broad smiles and the sweetness of a hearts song! Thank you for my priceless find! Love Diana

When I, for the first time, entered into images on my computer I was just clicking around to see what pics I could find on different subjects. I typed in things that were of interest to me to see what would come up. Then I came across a pic of clouds asking if you could find the hearts. It wasn't the most colorful pic I have seen but did it ever open my eyes. It lead me to a world of nothing less than fabulous and inspirational pics. Basilly has a true and natural gift for finding and capturing the essents of what is beautiful about the world we live in today. I am truely honored to say that she is my newest and most artistically gifted friend. If Basilly were to put down her camera today, never to take another pic again, it would be one of the worlds greatest losses of all time. Texas should be proud to have this lady capturing the awesome wonders of thier state. Your newest fan, Bill

Sally (basilly) should be considered a true Texas icon. Her excellent photos and fun personality do more to promote the her great state than the tourism department. She has a special wit and a way with words. I love when she has been by to check my photos and to read the comments she leaves. Sometimes it seems she is bubbling over with enthusiasm. She is so encouraging and says exactly what she thinks and feels. She has a heart of gold...I know that even though I've never met her in real life. I enjoy her and her wonderful photos of Texas, the incredible skies over Texas, and of course, sweet little Clover. I consider myself priviledged to be her friend and contact.

I hereby declare that Sally aka: basilly IS the Annie Leibowitz of Texas skies and sunsets!!! Beautiful shots of not only lovely and vivid clouds, but intriguing ones! It's like getting the opportunity to lay on some freshly cut green grass and gaze up at the Texas skies to find different objects, animals and people in them, from our computer monitor. With it comes the peace and joy of childhood, without a care in the world. Sally's images always take me back there. For that gift, I can never repay her. This dear lady takes us to her world and shows us all of the best that it has to offer. You never know what you will find when coming to Sally's place on Flickr. Beyond her obvious talent in photography, Sally has a heart bigger than Texas. Her gift of exhortation stands above the rest. The encouragement she gives freely to those of us with less experience in photography, is a gift I don't take for granted. I see her name in my comments and it brings smiles to my face and my heart. She has brightened more of my days than she'll ever know. Her photostream holds a myriad of quality images with variety that isn't common on Flickr. Of the many contacts and friends I've made here on flickr, Sally tops the list. When time is limited, as it is with all of us, it is Sally's photos I seek out. I cannot nor will not miss one of her precious images that tell the story of her beautiful world. My only regret is that she lives so far from me. It would be one of my greatest honors to go on a photography scouting trip with her. To experience her talent, her heart and charisma firsthand would be a blessing I would always cherish.

Dear Sally - what can I say? One of the sweetest, funniest, most upbeat souls I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I've been mooching around this wonderful community for nearly a year now and the time has come to give some public recognition to a few of those kind souls that have helped me feel so at home here. Sally was certainly one of my earliest contacts and her positive comments and wonderful sense of humour have made the Flickr experience for me, so much more enjoyable. But - mention must surely be made of the reason we're all here in the first place ....... Sally's continuous stream of uplifting images - her wonderful sunsets in particular - bring me cheer and joy on even the dreariest British day. Thank you, dear friend , for sharing your little bit of Texas with the rest of us, and thank you also for your constant encouragement along the way. Big hugs dear friend and a slobber from Beau xx
