I signed up for Flickr in 2011 and didn't get around to posting until Christmas 2014. I normally access Flickr through the iPad app which doesn't do Flickrmail so I won't get private messages until I log onto a PC.

I fave to show I like a picture and to encourage others. I do not download by faving. Don't feel you have to comment on my pics although I am glad of faves and / or constructive or encouraging comments. I am not interested in joining groups that are devised to generate faves. Groups with genuine shared interests are a different matter. Feel free to download any of my pictures for private or educational use. For other uses please contact for my written permission.
