Hello and welcome to my microcosm.
As a newcomer and novice I have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support I’ve seen during my exploration of this wonderful site and also experienced personally.
As a community we are united in our love of photography and imagery, but like friends we applaud each other’s successes - and share experiences and even failures with patience and kindness. This ‘spirit’ of Flickr has impressed me very much.
My favourite human traits are compassion, kindness and good humour (what the world needs more of). My passions include the sea, boats, animals, nature, music, books, art, photography and film, many of which will feature in my humble little photostream. Yes, we all like to capture what we love, how well we do it is both the challenge and the journey.
**************
As I approach my first Flickr birthday, it's probably time that I updated my profile, and will do so shortly. In the meantime I extend my deepest thanks to those wonderful contacts who have supported me during my 11+ months, Many have become good and very dear friends.
I seem to get dozens of new contacts every week, 99% of whom do not visit my stream - or at least there is no evidence to suggest that they do. In those circumstances, you will understand if I don't reciprocate. To those people who bother to comment, you can be assured that I will return the courtesy.
Please do not download my images and use them in any way without asking me first.
Nature has no love for solitude.

Meanwhile I know Marilyn more than a year and over the whole period she is a brilliant photographer and an execellent user of textures. But most of all she is a very close friend, a warmhearted woman, who gives always motivating and esteeming comments. And she is a gorgeous admin of one of my favourite groups - reliable and fair! I am proud to know her and I am sad, that she lives just round the other corner of our world! So there will never be the chance, to have a drink together... But one should never say never ;-) Your Mario

You inspire & encourage me to be the person I really am, to be true to your own style & not to conform to what others may want you to be. It's people like you who help others to grow & that is what true flickr friends are all about, not always easy to find here in this big world of endless people & pictures so I feel lucky to have met you. As for your work... well I can only add to what many others have said. You are not just a photographer, you are an artist, creating such special pictures to share with us, with facts or verses that compliment , giving reason & meaning to every image you post. Your good humour always makes me smile & your pictures always please my eye... Thank you "shastadaisy" for being you :o) flickr would be a very dull place without you, for me & many others who are lucky enough to have you as their friend !

First of all, I have to tell you all, the thoughts of Marilyn in my mind always gives me warm, happy feelings. Why is that so you may wonder? Let me tell you why. She is one of the most selfless person I have known in Flickr, not mentioning very creative, talented, great eyes, and the list goes on and on. She is an amazing artist on crafting all her photos. Let me expand what I want to say. There were times that she would send me a long emails about the lessons and tips she learned (from the hard way), in order for me to not to repeat these same mistakes, withouth I was asking for it, I was touched (those mails also gives me a warm feeling that someone cares), this proves that this beautiful-souled lady genuinely cares for me and all her friends from the deepest of her heart. And there are times I need help and again, she has never failed to taught me again and again on valuable lessons that she has learned. I know what I wrote here are barely enough to thank her for her greatness, kindness and selflessness. It's always a joy to see your buddy icon and comments appear in my photos' comment boxes. and I know all your time and effort spend to help us to Explore, they've never gone unnoticed. I appreciate every single one of them. :) Thanks again and again, my dear friend!

I have never found the words to write a testimony that was capable of explaining which is the meaning of Marilyn's work for me. Her images are my inspiration. Her work gave me a great interest to investigate and to visit every day flickr in search of her new photos. She is one of my basic contacts in flickr. Without her, flickr would not be the same thing. Her pool is a door opened for the knowledge, for the surprise and for the illusion. A basic support and an inexhaustible source of innovations. I am proud to have her like one of my contacts. It is an honor for me that someone with an exceptional work, visits my photos and has a while to devote myself some words. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Whether it's a perfectly exposed vista of the Tulip farms or a wonderfully textured surreal landscape, every image is carefully chosen and prepared and truly worth every view.
