Hi, my mother tongue is Swiss German (Schwyzertütsch), I can get in heated discussions in German, French, English, know some basic Italian and I can (just) get away with ordering food & drinks in Portuguese....
Many fave my photos and make me their contact. But when I go to check their profiles and photos, they have no photos available to me. I am blocking such people without fail, because my pictures get stolen all the time and I am well and truly fed up with this.
When I get nicely asked, I check out and get back to the person; it's nearly always a YES, especially when it's for a good cause....
All those, who are taking the time to comment, are playing by the few rules and make my life more beautiful - THANK YOU. - I love you for your friendship, mails, remarks and smiles!
-------------------------------------
Should you bother to look at my profile, you'll realise that the number of my contacts/friends has diminished dramatically. I 'weed out' my contacts from time to time and if you find yourself REMOVED from my list, it's BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BEEN SHARING the experience equally.
I prefer to have more time for those amongst you who ARE giving me joy and for whom I haven't got enough time so far.

Please note that ALL my photos are my private property. You have the right to look at them, but if you want to use them for anything else but your own private pleasure, send me a mail and explain things. You may NOT at any time use them for any commercial purpose or without asking my full consent.
If I give you my permission, I want you to give full credit to me. When I say full credit this means you will have to use my full name and not 'only' my stage name. This goes for copying, quoting, blogging, or any other ....ing thing!!! NONE of my photos may be sold or traded! THANK YOU!

PLEASE stop inviting me to groups with HUGE invite logos and/or to groups I am not a member of; what I want is COMMENTS COMING FROM YOU, your views, opinions, your own words, exchanging something, I wanna know your feelings, what makes you tick, smile, cry.... anything as long as it's authentic! (even if it's silly and lightweight.... we all love to laugh!)
Latest news (March 7, 2022): I‘m stepping down of being a PRO member here. I‘m well and truly fed up with having continuing lesser service for a mounting yearly subscription. OK, I‘ll lose plenty of my photos but I‘m not putting up with a lousy service AND a threefold increase of contributions. I only stay for the joy of visiting some dear old friends and their magnificent work and continue to do my work as an Admin of some groups.

Since Flickr has ONCE AGAIN messed up the overall appearance and gives us less and less joy, I ask all
GROUP ADMINS who would like me to participate actively by inviting and commenting photos in their groups are asked to make me an ADMINISTRATOR too
I simply haven't got the time to search the comment-code on every group's page and I can't be bothered loosing precious time if I could have the possibility to do that in a straight-forward fashion.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and complying with my wishes.

Testimonials
I've discovered you, Kiki, years ago, and thanks to you I've become a photography enthusiast. I've learnt from you how to look at things and especially, love them! You're great, you're inspiring, you're the joyful part of the life. Thank you for all.
Very beautiful pictures and beautiful photography and creativity and I wish you happiness and health ✿
Kiki makes me laugh and that is like being gifted with a most precious jewel...to me. People who are talented with words, such as Kiki, belong to a very special "tribe" I would say.

Kiki makes me laugh and that is like being gifted with a most precious jewel...to me. People who are talented with words, such as Kiki, belong to a very special "tribe" I would say. There is something indiscribable about their ways, about how they connect to others. They keep fascinating me, as I travel to inimaginable places through the magic of words they write. I just love and admire that. So, Kiki has been a wonderful friend/contact on Flickr. We don´t "meet" so often, but always when it happens it is fun for sure and that is something I treasure a lot. I love her pictures, how she takes them and her incredible descriptions about how they happened. To be on Kiki´s stream is always a must, a "happening". I never know where she is, in Switzerland, or in France. I confess that I get lost about that, but it doesn´t matter, as her beautiful soul will be just the same, wherever she is spending time on this Planet. Kiki, sweet friend, thank you for many fabulous moments spent on Flickr. It is great to have you around, girl. Brazilian hugs, Petra :))))

Kiki is one of those special souls on flickr as well as in the world, who, with just a word, can brighten any day. Her images reflect her love of life... They are beautiful and often give us a peek into her life. Her captions and tags share her heart, as well as insight into some of the personal details that make her such a wonderful person. If you've ever had the privilege of having her visit your photostream, you'll know that a comment from Kiki is a breath of fresh air... she never fails to leave me inspired, enthused, and energized. I truly look forward to seeing her, on her stream or mine... She carries sunshine in her pocket, and shares it with everyone she touches--even those of us who are thousands of miles away.... I am blessed and honored to be one of the lucky people who receives her wonderful warmth and friendship. Thank you, Kiki, for being such a bright light here on flickr, and for sharing your sunshine with me.... xoxox

Dear Kiki, I have been meaning to write a testimonial for you for a while but after seeing your latest photo I feel inspired to write. Kiki is one of my favourite Flickr friends, her photos are more than photos, they are a little slices of life to be savoured and enjoyed over and over again, each one is crafted with love and care and matched with a perfect commentary or quotation. Each comment she leaves is so thoughtful and insightful and I treasure them. Kiki you are a true inspiration, I only wish I had your way with words so I could express better what your photos mean to me. Keep up the good work, it's an honour to be your friend. ~Jill~

Kiki has a gift for seeing the beauty in all of the little things. She finds & captures (outside of and within nature) hearts, lights, peaces, & loves. To these representative images, she shares her insights and wisdoms and the meanings which they hold for her personally. She offers us a place in which we might remember our essence, imagine our dreams, hold our present, and ponder our futures. Kiki is also a sweet friend who feels the secret language which many photos contain, and leaves very kind comments to reflect such. Kiki, it is a pleasure to cross streams with you, Dear! Thank you! ~and angels they fly~

One of the things I love about flickr is finding unexpected treasure. Kiki is one of those finds - someone who picks out special things out of daily life and makes me look at the detail with a new eye. And of course she has a wonderful sense of humour and an uncanny knack of finding appropriate literary references to go with her pictures. Take a wander through her photostream, read the poems and let your shoulders go down. It's the perfect antidote to work!

Kiki is one of my favorite contacts. I always look forward to visiting and spending time in her stream because it is full of photos of the beauty she sees all around her. She also has a gift for words. When she puts her words (thoughts, heart and soul) together with her amazing photos, she creates lovely stories that I often find in my dreams. A comment from her is like a gift. Kiki, thank you for all your wonderful photos and for being such a great Flickr Friend! I am lucky to have found you!

She’s also amazing in matching image and words. “There are no rules for good photographers, there are just good photographers (Ansel Adams)”, and Kiki is a very good one. Kiki: I really mean it. xoxo

Vol-auVent porte bien son nom. Elle est une grande éolienne créatrice d'énergie d'ou émanent des images et des textes audacieux qui émeuvent ou font rire aux larmes. Elle est également une plume au vent qui invite a survoler Lutry, le lac Léman, la Suisse, son coin de pays auquel elle voue un amour inconditionnel contagieux. D'une grande générosité, elle donne un sens réel au partage de photos par ses visites et par ses commentaires constructifs. Mieux la connaitre, c'est mieux l'apprécier. Bonne visite a tous.
