What's not to love about this Sugarbear? His amazing photographic skill across varied subject matter? The way he is always able to get the perfect angle on an animal in some kind of interesting position? His stylish camo tent? His witty tags, titles and descriptions? His knee-slappingly hilarious comments? His dashing, albeit hairy and gorilla-like good looks? I love all of the above and more about Steve. He's a talented, funny, kind member of this flickr community. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work.

His sense of humour (sorry, humor) is wonderfully uplifting, and his photos - a constant source of delight, endlessly funny and brilliantly crafted. Thank you , oh furry one, for your friendship, your supportive comments, your humour and , last but not least, your wonderful photostream. It has been a pleasure getting to know you.

I originally contacted Steve by Flickr-mail, thinking he might be a long-lost Mac maven, but no, he's just one of the most fun photographers on Flickr, combining fine skills that he seems to be improving every day, with a wonderful sense of humor that he shares in his many comments throughout Flickr.

I originally contacted Steve by Flickr-mail, thinking he might be a long-lost Mac maven, but no, he's just one of the most fun photographers on Flickr, combining fine skills that he seems to be improving every day, with a wonderful sense of humor that he shares in his many comments throughout Flickr. Like me, he finds wonders in the flowers and critters in his beautiful back yard and I trust gets the same joy in sharing them as I do. I'm delighted to have met him and to be enjoying his marvelous photos, and look forward to some photostrolls soon. What's also cool is that he started Flickr exactly one year after I did, to the day, so we share a Flickrversary.

What a great great Flickr friend. I love the fact that Steve makes me smile all the time.....even when I'm having a not so good day. I LOVE his photos. His birds and garden shots are amazing.(Not so secretly jealous sometimes they are so great!) I love that he is now doing portraits and he certainly has a way with capturing the innocence of a small child. I am so happy I met him early on in Flickr as his sense of humor keeps me smiling and his photos TOUCH my heart x

Sugarbear Steve has been a constant flickr friend from the moment I met him. I enjoy is willingness to communicate not only through comments but via flickr e-mail, we have a mavelous time! He is always encouraging and constantly setting the bar higher and higher to achieve photo's that knock your socks off. He doesn't let up! Now with his new camera, I shutter to think of the challanges that lay ahead! FUNNY funny guy, great to have on my side, wonderful that he has gotten to know my sisters as well!
