Much Love my Dear Friend Lisa xo The Friends we meet Online The true friends who we meet online Are a very special kind They pierce your shields and see within The corners of your mind. They're always there when you're in need With their power to discern. They feel your pain..... They offer hope and genuine concern. We bare our souls, expose our hearts And show our inner fears And then before you know it The keyboard's stained with tears.

Mary is one of my longest running friends here on Flickr. She is a dream. A doll. And I may be the only person left on Flickr that hasn't written her a testimonial yet. The long list below me is a testament to her skill as a photographer and her warmth as a person. She is a fantastic photographer with zest and spirit for life that oozes out of her work. And that is second only to her love for her family and grand kids. I am honored to have Mary as a friend. Cheers to you my dear.

It is very hard to know were to start with a testimonial to Mary. I will just say that I have been on flickr now for almost two years, and Mary has been one of my contacts since early on in my flickr experience. Sorry to say, this testimonial is far overdue. That is my fault and I feel very sorry that I have not written her one long before now. If anyone deserves a testimonial it would be Mary. I have known for a while now that she was a real talent behind her camera, and as time has gone by her photography has only improved. Her talent just seems endless. Each and every one of her images she posts is a gem and a real joy to view. Mary is a fabulous landscape and seascape photographer, just to name a few. It really doesn't matter what subject she is photographing, she just makes a work of art out of any of it. It has been a real privilege to have her as one of my contacts. She is very quick to give my images comments and praise which is very nice to see. Some just post and run.. but not Mary.. She is genuine and is very loyal to her contacts. That is a trait I really admire about Mary. I always look forward to her next work of art, and I know it will always be worthy of viewing and commenting on because she is a true artist and a wonderful person. She is beautiful both inside and out. Thank you Mary for being the person that you are.. Hugs.. Nick

Mary. It is with great pleasure that I write this for you. Mary you have been a dear friend and wonderful contact. I have enjoyed every picture you have posted. It is easy to see the kind and caring person that you are through your pictures. So many times the words you leave with every pictures have hit so close to home on days when they were much needed. Many people show many different things through their photographs. You show love and compassion. I can't help but think the world would be a much better place if there were more people in it like you.

I stumbled on Mary's work through a mutual contact here on Flickr. I got dosed with her infectious optimistm through her photographs and I've been addicted since ~ Mary is truly a person of stellar character and integrity. Her work speaks volumes about her versatility and professionalism as a photographer, in addition to her love and passion for life and all it's inexplicable intricacies. She has become a mentor and more importantly, a friend who I have grown very fond of. I had the pleasure of meeting Mary and Amy in her hometown not long ago. Being somewhat a private and quiet person, I was a little nervous about meeting two strangers, even though I talked with them through Flickr. I am pleased to report, it's been a long time since I've met someone so likable and easy-going as the two of them. They should have been born sisters, I think. We had a wonderful and most memorable day. Thank you, Mary ~ you are such a great person!

Class. If I had to choose one word to say about Mary, that would be the one. Her self-portraits are so well done, they are art in every sense of the word. Her nature photography inspires me to try to improve mine. I recommend her stream to everyone. Let it pull you in. Mary, thanks for your kind comments on my stream a… Read more

I’ve been meaning to do this for such a long time so here it goes…this is my first testimonial ever. Mary was one of my first Flickr contacts. I couldn’t believe someone with her talent would take the time to look at my photostream but she did again and again. Her work is just so unbelievably beautiful. Extraordinary shots with wonderful tidbits of insight, well-picked words of wisdom and songs that make her shots come alive. I don’t know if it’s because of our age or our New England upbringing but I feel like we have so much in common, I can’t believe I feel so close to someone I’ve never met, she has put thoughts and feeling that I have into her words and pictures. Keep up your amazing work Mary, there are so many of us that you just inspire and brighten our days. Hugs, Lola
