Since the beauty of God’s creation is everywhere, it isn’t necessary to travel hundreds of miles to behold it. Awe-inspiring scenery may be distant, but impressive art can be found in your neighborhood if you look for it and—more important—if you know how to look for it.
Although the beauty is there, not everyone will see it. It has often been noted that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” However, It may take a photograph to make us sit up and take notice. In fact, many artists believe that their success depends more on their ability to see art than to capture art. Whether we are photographers or not, we can learn to see more clearly, to notice the beauty around us. In other words, we need to look.
Beauty is seeing for oneself, touching, smelling and listening. Wherever you may be, enjoy the beauty! The more often we pause to observe God’s creations, the more we will enjoy his art! The heavens declare His glory, I hope my photos will too!

Tony is an extremely talented photographer who has a very keen eye for all the beauty and wonders that surround us. His photostream truly conveys his love for nature, and one can clearly see that his heart and soul go into each and every one of his images. His photos are always rich with beautiful color, incredible detail and exceptional quality. What a joy it is to see the various species of animals, and to witness their habits and often comical ways. His photos always leave me with a good feeling and a smile on my face. What I especially love about his photography is HOW he captures his birds. Their expressions and poses are so intense and animated that I can’t help from entertaining the thought that he is communicating with them… A la “Dr. Dolittle” :D Thank you, Tony, for sharing your world with us and for being a wonderful friend. ~ Creepella

Hi Tony, hurry back you said ... !!! ok, have done and on arriving back what do I find, your kind comments and for these, thankyou. I have to say, Tony is a warm and supportive person, his comments are for you ... he makes you always feel that he is genuinely interested in your images, thats the special quality Tony has. Tony's photostream, what can I say that has not been so eloquently said already, quality, diversity, beautifully presented images, each and every one is just so beautiful ... and his Jay's for me are just amazing, but having said that, all are equally stunning. Tony has a great sense of humour, and I guarantee that you will be laughing and smiling, and just like me, you will return again and again, I mean, who would want to miss "stuff those cheeks" check this little character out, oh yes, and do make sure you bring Tony a cup of coffee sometimes ... he does like his coffee ... !

This testimonial is long overdue, as I have been enjoying Tony's magnificent photography for over a year now. His bird shots are sensational. I don't have any idea how he manages to get so many different kinds to pose for him in such perfect environments all year long; He knows how to be in just the right place at the right time. I also like his beautiful landscapes; They're always so crisp and fresh and satisfying. But the thing that got me to contact him early on were his people pictures. Just like with the birds, he manages to be in the right place and hits that shutter with perfect timing. While his sense of timing is something I aspire to acquire, his list of lenses is something I have investigated. Impressed with the sharpness, perspective, and appropriate DOF of his various shots, I've asked him about lenses. His knowledge and experience and reasons for using certain lenses have influenced my purchases (and my wish list). He's got a great eye for seeing beauty around him, and a wonderful sense of composition, and technical expertise to capture his vision to share. I cherish Tony as a Flickr friend and a fellow photographer. Check out Tony's impressive photostream...highly recommended!
