My name is Helen, and I live in Winston-Salem with my husband Bob and our cat Summer. We are fortunate to have almost two acres near the center of the city, with woods, a creek, lots of songbirds, an occasional wild turkey, and nesting red-tailed hawks.

Since finding Flickr (thank you, Adam) I've discovered a wonderful community, and some really really interesting photographs. And it's interesting what I've learned about myself: if someone had asked me months ago what kind of photographs I like, I'd not have known the answer. Now, I can look at my "favorites" and see the common themes.

 

My husband and me, in that order.

  

I occasionally write in my blog

Helen's stuff is good. Very good. She makes really beautiful pictures out of friendly everyday things, pictures that are calm and serene. I guess they are that way because she has the knack and skill to know about the placement of things. She has an enviably good eye and eliminates clutter – every picture is clean and (deceptively) simple and cheerful and lets you sit back and enjoy! Helen is also a great person and displays great good humour and well-being towards everyone.
