I am an amateur photographer who takes my camera everywhere. I photograph things that I think are beautiful and catch my eye. My first love is photographing nature and animals, especially roses and my cat Max,....but my "Macro Eraser Practice" series is near and dear to my heart!

 

I am inspired by someone who encourages me and helped me work through my past, brings life and love in the present, and he points me towards a bright future full of possibilities...always. He showed me that it doesn't matter if others believe in you, it only matters that you believe in yourself.

Colleen always has beautiful things to say about everything and everyone. I am practicing to take a leaf or 3 out of her book in this regard.

Her flower captures, especially her roses for which she is famous, are just a delight, her animal photos capture the very essence of the animal and her "Macro Eraser Practice" should be on doctors perscription for everyone in the world as laughter medicine! On top of all this, Colleen is the sweetest, most caring person I know and I thank Flickr for the chance to find her.

The best part about her is her loyalty and entusiasm for other people work ! In my case she is the 1st one to comment on the photographs as soon as they are posted...sometimes even before I am done finishing the explanation of the photo.
