Hi, and thanks for visiting!
I had no idea that photography could be so much fun until I started getting to know my Canon Powershot last year, and was introduced to Flickr by my good friend TassieSim
Now, however, it's turning into an obsession.. err... I mean passion!! I love it... and everything I look at these days becomes a photo opportunity... lol
Thanks again for the visit... and thank you to every one of my contacts. I appreciate your helpful and supportive comments more than you will ever know!!
I do try to visit my contacts as often as I'm able, but please forgive me if I haven't had a chance to catch up with you for a while. Also, please don't be offended if you've added me, and I haven't returned the compliment. It's not that I don't appreciate it, it's just that I'm finding it difficult to keep up with everyone as it is! But thank you... and I really do wish I could!!

Mary, I do believe you have been a contact for quite awhile, so this is a long time in coming! Ever since I started posting in Macro Flower Lovers, I have been a fan of your work. Exquisite SOOC shots, gorgeous flowers and drops, and front pages galore!!! But more than that, you have been not only a constant presence on my stream, but you have been "watching out for me" on the other side of the world! Always letting me know when I have been in explore, and forever capturing the screen shots for me! Without you doing that, I probably would have missed half of them, cause they go in and out so fast!! You are really dedicated, and the kind of contact everyone dreams of! I so look forward to your posts, and hope to for many more years!! Thanks for being such a great Flickr friend. xoxo Sylvia

Mary was one of the 1st people on Flickr to make contact with me and what a sweetie she has been ever since. I would have been lost if not for her guidance and direction on all of the intricacies of navigating the technical waters of Flickr. I know I must have bothered her on many occasions when she was occupied with the many tasks of a group administrator but she never let me think that she was too important or too busy to lend a hand or an ear of support for all of my many questions. In addition to being an exceptional photographer, Mary is also passionate about her garden and growing gorgeous flowers, trees and plants to use as subjects for her exquisite work as one of Flickr’s premier macro photographers. She loves to get up close and personal with her flower shots and just like herself, she is most proud when she is able to post SOOC….that’s because Mary is made of the same fabric….what you see is what you get…she puts on no airs, no phony lines….straight up…stand up…honest, classic and wonderful….All the Best...!

Mary was one of my first contacts on Flickr and it was (still is!) a joy to see her colourful photos appearing in my Contacts' thumbnails every day.... and of course because a lot of her photos are macro shots it is a nice process to click on a tiny image to see it transformed into a large image of something which is in fact quite tiny! Her talent in seeing the beautiful and inspirational every day on her way to work, in her lunch time, in the council gardens (LOL), really did encourage me to investigate and better observe the world around me. I love especially her current bird passion! In addition to this... Mary is a loyal and thoughful contact.

Mary ed io siamo approdate in Flickr più o meno nello stesso periodo. Sin dal primo momento mi ha seguita e supportata costantemente, per questo motivo le sarò sempre infinitamente grata. Nonostante la conosca solo virtualmente, ritengo che Mary sia una persona adorabile ed un'ottima fotografa. Il suo photostream si può definire in un solo modo: un esplosione di colori. Mary si sposta leggera di fiore in fiore, ne cattura forme e colori e li racchiude in uno scatto così perfetto che, osservandolo, sembra di cogliere la freschezza ed il profumo delle corolle. Ho parlato in particolare dei fiori perchè sono la sua specialità, ma la fotografia di Mary si sviluppa anche verso altri soggetti, altrettanto degni di considerazione. Ti ringrazio per le meraviglie che ci doni ma soprattutto per la tua amicizia, che mi hai dimostrato moltissime volte. Con simpatia e gratitudine Stefania

Read lessWhenever I view ~~wv~~'s photo stream, I always find something new to amaze me! She seems to have an endless supply of wonders to photograph, and she manages to make everything look even better than what we see at a first glance! It's amazing!
Mary, your macros are amazing! Your nature subjects - flowers, bees , water droplets clinging to plants - are all exquisitely captured with perfect lighting and details. The colors are stunning and a visit to your photostream is like a mini vacation into a beautiful garden. Such a treat to the eyes!
The macros of ~~wv~~ shining through your display! The are very brilliant, rich of details and colors! Very beautiful and technically perfect! Great works! Bravo!
In my opinion, Mary is the "Queen of flowers". Flowers are already beautiful by themselves, but few persons are able to raise this beauty to poetry and Mary is for sure one of these persons. Just look at her photostream and you can immediately understand what I mean. Supposing that in another life I would ever be born … Read more
