Other than family & friends, gardening & photography are my two main passions.

When I'm 'lost' in Flickr the hours melt away. How did this happen anyway? There are so many superb pictures, so many talented artists. When a photo inspires me, when it moves me, I add it to a gallery I curate. In my opinion, these are the best of the best: www.flickr.com/photos/65012296@N03/galleries

Each is entitled "Inspiration" followed by a number solely to separate one from the other.

Thank you Francisco for encouraging me to set up an account back in 2011 and for your ongoing support.

I try to visit the photo stream of each person who comments or faves one of my photos. I find it impossible to keep up with

the email and visit the photo streams of everyone whose photos I follow. Apologies to those I miss.

To each and every one who has viewed, commented and/or faved one of my pictures - THANK YOU.

We all see things differently - that's one of the things that makes our journey through life so interesting. And, for those of us who spend a lot of time with our cameras, the way we see things, the way we approach life, is often reflected in the photographs we take.

And, for my Mom:
