I love animals of all kinds, friendly people who remember to be kind, little children, flowers that are still growing, trees, cool air, the smell of pine trees in the warm sun, and oceans, Atlantic and Pacific.

Flickr has made my life open up in ways I hadn't expected. Now I feel as if I have friends in Taiwan, Sweden, Bucharest, the U.K., Australia, France and Columbia. And around the U.S. too.

Where else could that experience happen with beautiful photos added to the mix!

Carlene’s ability to find joy in the world around her seems effortless— and what a beautiful world it is that she shares with us! Her photos and her descriptions are both fascinating and skillful, and her kind comments are thoughtful and conversational—and always nice to read. A flickr group she founded as a result of her personal challenge, “It’s the little things…” has brought together a community of like-minded friends, on a weekly search to find whatever it is that makes them happy. It’s inspiring in its nature, having its roots in gratitude, and has revived the creativity and fun of the “old days” of flickr for me. And then there’s her dog Benni… one of the cutest and sweetest on Flickr, who never fails to bring a smile to my face—by just being Benni. :-) I’m really glad we became flickr friends!

Carlene, you are without a doubt the nicest person I've met on Flickr (and most other places for that matter;) You really look at every photo and take the time to leave insightful comments. I enjoy your commitment to photography because it brings joy to so many of us. I adore Benni and would love nothing more than to see her and Ruby romp and play. Without them, we may not have met here! I'm grateful also to have met Kerri and Doug. They are as nice as you are and both are excellent photographers as well. Sandy
