I'm just an amateur at photography, loving flickr! I've been here for the past four years, and have loved most of it.....

 

I found it to be to much work at times, and I'm posting, for my own reasons, and I try to get around to my contacts as soon as possible........I'm pretty lazy with that these days, but busy times.......As I'm sure it is for all of us.

 

Happy flickring my friends ♥

As far as my photography goes, I'm an amatuer, but learning something new every day!

I have been with Flickr for about three months now. I have made many friends here. I have to say that Flutterbye8567 Lauri has become one of my favorite photographers on Flickr!!! She calls herself an amateur, if you look at her photostream I think you will agree with me that she is very talented! She has inspired me many times with her work. There are not too many people that I would like to meet in real life, Lauri and her Jim husband are two people I would like too spend time with. Unfortunately, time and distance will not allow me this pleasure. So in closing, Lauri keep up the great work.

Lauri's photographs are superb and a delight to see... Her flower shots alone are simply to die for... It is as if you can touch the flower through the screen. Lauri, thanks for all your photos, the comments and visits to my stream and for all those I am truly appreciative...

I have never met Lauri in person but she has become a wonderful friend to me here on Flickr. She has a love for nature and the beauty that surrounds her in everyday life. It has been a pleasure looking at her photography and seeing the world through her eye as a photographer. It seems that Lauri has a natural ability to find the beauty in whatever is near her. She shows this through her wonderful photos. Lauri has been a big inspiration to me and for this I thank her. Not only is Lauri a wonderful photographer she is a loving person. She always looks other photos and finds the beauty that is within and makes comments that come from her heart not form the flow of the crowd. One could not find a better friend or mentor for sharing or learning to look for what is beautiful in all subjects. I will always hold the friendship that has developed between us in a special place in my heart. Keep shooting Lauri you bring beauty to the world. Love, DanS
