I had a bunch of stuff wrote on here but I doubt many really read it. So just in case your one of the 'few"
I have to say I have more contacts than I can keep up with on a daily basis. So IF I don't add you back don't be offended I usually need some sort of "connection" before contact is made these days! So this is in no way saying I won't add more contacts. :-)
I have many 1 way contacts who have not added me back..this should not be a "scratch my back I'll scratch yours" type of atmosphere!
If I removed you it's not PERSONAL! we just probably never really connected on any level & so therefore your gone..not because I didn't like your photography or you. It just got to the point that I HAD to have a more manageable contact list! Please don't think it was an easy task! It was not! :-(
Also IF you have not posted anything for a Looooooong time..I may have removed you...If you start posting again...send me a FM & I'll gladly add you back..:-)
Just as in life I would rather have a "few" good friends with meaningful relationships!
Flickr to me is about sharing & learning photography, I don't give a RATS "BEHIND" about EXPLORE. Period!
Also.......While I do appreciate a few group invites NO LARGER THAN LIFE TAKE UP MY WHOLE STREAM WITH THEIR UGLYNESS, GLITTERY graphics..(My delete button works quite well) An honest comment goes further & feels much nicer to read than all the invites in the world....don't you agree?
I enjoy spending my time taking photo's & enjoying friendships I have made through flickr & enjoying my friends amazing talents..........Flickr is suppose to be FUN!! & for the most part....I LOVE to have fun & I enjoy interacting with my contacts & many of you have become friends to me..dear friends that are a part of my "daily" life...never thought I would ever say that about an on-line community in my life...but it has happened.

Canon SD880-It's okay..mainly gets used for snapshots...throw in the pocket.
I also get a thrill every time I look through the viewfinder & see I captured something that made my heart race just a little faster....I get bored if my photo's don't have that little extra "zing" to it.

{** Kristin **} says:
"Lynn loves life and love and it shows in her photography. Each day she brings joy to her photostream surrounded by light, color and bokeh. Each capture tells a story and tells it well. From fabulous macros to beautiful landscapes each are emotive and unique. Even through black and white imagery she is able to capture the 'colors' of life.
Ever the romantic, Lynn finds love in all she photographs. It's that very attachment to her subjects that makes her photography so breathtaking. Her eye is keen on movement, shape and color in a way that is exciting and fresh. Making the viewer 'fall in love' with the subject each and every time.
The joy she feels through photography is not only evident in the beauty she creates but also in her commitment to being a loyal contact. Lynn strikes the perfect balance of sharing her art as well as being generous in return. I feel fortunate to have found her wonderful images and even moreso to call her 'friend'."13th October, 2009

"This is a testimonial I've been thinking about writing for some time now. Lynn is just not a very talented photographer (and one of my favourites here on flickr) but also a person which I admire for her thoughts photography in general and flickr in particular. She really opened my eyes for what flickr can be. Lynn is also a very sweet, caring and generous person.
I truly appreciate every single photo Lynn shares with us. Her shots are full of life and great colours and I admire her for the outstanding bokeh she creates. :-) Thank you for your friendship, wise thoughts and sweet words!"4th June, 2009

"I have just recently met Miss Lynn, and am delighted she has become a frequent visitor. Her comments are original and enciteful. I am glad to say she is already among one of my favorite contacts.
What can I say about her images? Bokehlicious. Anyone who loves Bokeh as much as I do is sure to produce alot of instant faves. Keep an eye out for Lynn, she will amaze and delight with each new upload. Now if she would just share how she manages to get such excellent points of light in every shot???"29th May, 2009

"ill never forget the day Lynn found me :-) it was my first day here on flickr and i had no clues at all about how this worked. Then she appeared and made me a contact. This girl with an amazing stream thought i was "worthy"!! Made my day :-) I looked through almost all of her stream that day and i was so happy to see someone that had understood the beauty of bokeh (well i didnt know it was bokeh back then, ive learned that thanks to her). I came from a photosite where it seems the most important thing was getting everyhting in the photo sharp (and flat and boring), and then seeing her bokehlicious photos made me feel like i had landed in heaven!!! I have learned so very much from watching her stream :-)
I wait for her photo every day and i know its going to be full of life, gorgeous colours and a bokeh thats just perfect :-) Often im so lost for words when i see her pictures, i had to make up a new one just for her: Lynnilicious!!!!! Yes the !!!!'s is a part of the word ;-)
I find her photos very inspireing, and shhhhhhhhh I havent told her this yet, but it was her tulip on the piano that inspired my whole black and white in colours series.
Shes become one of my best Flickr friend and ill forever be gratefull for having met her. Thanks for being such a great artist, friend and ispiration :-)"21st May, 2009

"I came across Lynn’s stream through the group “joyful simplicities”, where I commented on her “Blue Hydrangeas”…as the days passes by, her stream is one of my MUST view lists as she can even make an ordinary vinegar label or olive oil bottle looks interesting and eye catching.
Lynn is a sweet heart and her smile can melt your heart, having her around is fun and delightful. Not only her personality makes her GREAT but her work of photography is simply BEAUTIFUL, the way she capture the beauty of nature and creates lovely bokeh, droplets on petal, tulips, humming bird makes me utter “WOW”. She got the SPIRIT and TALENT as a good photographer =)
Lynn’s comment is true and sincere, I know it because she takes the time to view the image in detail…like she said in one of my images “dissecting it piece by piece” hee…hee…I am very happy and grateful to have you as a wonderful and true friend and look forward for your upload each day. Thank you so much for the encouragement Lynn! *HUGS*"6th May, 2009

sevenable says:
"Creative, artistic, spontaneous and diverse. Each photo Lynn uploads on her photostream is an adventure. She can take the simplest thing and through her lens it becomes a wonder, something you can almost reach out and touch. I always look forward to being surprised with what she finds to photograph next and often what small detail of the photo will be the focus that spins off into the most amazing bokeh effect on the planet.
Lynn is also a wonderful Flickr friend. Not only with each new photo but with each comment she shares her gift of friendship and photography. She is supportive, kind, funny and simply very cool!!! She makes Flickr a great experience for me and many others each day. Thank you, Lynn, for sharing your amazing talent and priceless friendship!"2nd May, 2009

Sheraz Shaukat (Intaglio) says:
"Lynn (Miss Bokeh) is one of the most talented photographers in my contact list. I am a big fan of her beautiful photos. I look forward to her photos daily and she inspires me every time I look at the new upload. Her observation is amazing. She is too good technically as well as aesthetically. I wish i could spend just one day with her and her camera.
The best thing about her is that she always welcomes my criticism :)
My best wishes for you."20th April, 2009

"Although I have been on Flickr a long time, I only recently began commenting on other's work and really looking at streams. Lynn's was one of the first that I found. Every single photo is a work of art. She has such an understanding of light and color and bokeh. I stare at some of her images and wonder how she created the magic that appears. In addition, Lynn has been very encouraging to me as I try to better my own photography and for that I am very grateful. I truly think she is one of the most talented photographers on Flickr."

JenDarling1010 says:
"I remember when I first admired Lynn's work... it was these amazing photographs of sparkly red hearts that were filled with wonderful bokeh, I knew then that she was definitely someone whose photostream I just had to see, and boy I was not disappointed! Lynn has a way of taking a picture of something around her that we might simply walk right by not see the immense beauty in that she sees. Lyn has this magical way of bringing out that inner glow in everything she shoots, the sign of a true talented photographer, it is like objects around her are always crying out "Pick me!! Pick Me!" Please make sure you check out all the fabulousness that is the Lynferd photostream, she is also a kind, encouraging person who always leaves the best comments!! Lynn, you rule! : )"

"I love Lynn's photography...I have watched her grow in her short time on Flikr from a great photographer to a true artist..... each of her photos is a carefully thought out, well presented little masterpiece,,,her macros and bokeh are magical and she makes a bottle of olive oil look like a superstar.... I always look forward to seeing what she will come up with next....
Aside from her photography she has also been a good friend to me and I don't make it easy : ) She is generous with her words and her time and ALWAYS honest which is sooooo cool in the cyber world...great job all around.........."4th April, 2009

Loca Luna / Anna Gay says:
"Lynn is one of the most amazing macro photographers I have ever come across. Her work always astounds me. She is the only person who can take my breath away with every single photo she posts, and I always look forward to her latest shot - it is always a high point in my day! They are so colorful, so bright, so beautifully focused...they are almost other-wordly. Lynn, you are a gifted and very sweet individual, so I wish you nothing but the very best!"

"Seems as if there's a forth Grace in our midst. While Aglala (the Radiant), Euphrosyne (the Joyful) and Thalia (the Flowering) are certainly surprised at such an announcement, it should come as no surprise to them. Lynn (wisely and frugally) portions her beauty from "Mt. Olympus" (or is that Mt. Rainier). While we honestly admire and share in a community of gratitude, if she were to publish, say 10 pics a day, we would be forever planted in a reverential pose in front of our monitors and get nothing else accomplished for that day. Seriously though, the treats she provides are so inspirational and thought provoking that I’ve always found myself taking a pause and admiring the beauty on display and forgetting the rest of the world. That is the best measure of the talent she so effortlessly shares for our pleasure. But wait, I think I hear the mummurs of the Graces. Oh yes, quite distinctly now, here is what they’re chanting;
“Grace comes easy to those at play
Doubt?
Ask the light in Lynn’s bokeh.”"24th March, 2009

"Lynn was one of my first Flickr friends and the first person that I really connected with here. She is so thoughtful with all of her comments and always knows how to boost my feelings when I'm a little down. I was immediately drawn to her amazing macro images and she continues to amaze me on a daily basis with her talent. My only hope is that a tiny bit of her brilliance will wear off onto me. ;-)
Thank you for being you and always brining a smile to my face!

"I've only known Lynn for a short while here on Flickr. Her macro photography is so beautiful. I came across one of her Royal purple tulip images one day and I had to see more of her wonderful photostream. Each image more lovely then the last. She mixes things up by posting more then just floral photography.
She takes the time to write wonderful comments and is always so kind. Keep up the great work Lynn. Thanks for being a true friend. I'll be checking your photostream everyday."16th March, 2009

"You meet all sorts of people on flickr, and Lynn is one of the best kinds.... funny, geniuine, kind, and giving of her time and her knowledge.
Lynn likes to get to know her contacts, a fact which I appreciate so much. I always look forward to her comments, it's obvious she cares about my feelings and my photographs and enjoys sharing that with me-which is to me the true joy of flickr.
And then there is her talent! Lynn has a way with colors that is just magical! Everything she shoots sparkles in some way, with bokeh, with light, with just sheer beauty. You'll never lack for beautiful things to look at and ENJOY when you visit her stream. I love her flowers, but I also love the little "surprises" she throws in there to keep us on our toes. I am never bored, and always delighted.
Thanks for being a great flickr friend, Lynn!"8th March, 2009

{machel spence} aka..."mushroom queen" says:
"My friend Lynn, she was one of my first contacts on Flickr back when no one knew me & she has always encouraged me to push my style and not to worry about what others think of it. We lean on eachother when we have a crap day on here, I wish she lived closer...we would have a blast going out in the woods to photograph. I never dreamed that joining this virtual world I would connect with so many incredibly caring people...but here I am writing about one of them! Her work speaks for itself, brilliant shots of nature & what is important in her life! I think she is an amazing person and an inspiration to all of us on Flickr! You rock my friend! Maybe this summer we will make a drive down to Oregon from Seattle and meet! (: Machel Spence"

"I have not been on flickr for very long but in that short time I have met some great 'friends'.
Lynn is one of them. Lynn a full time mom finds time to take some of the best outstanding and stunning images I have seen. She is one mean 'bokeh gal' and her flower macro shots are of what legends are made of!
Lynn whenever possible comments on her contacts images, being constructive and funny and will try to answer any question asked of her.
I would just like to say thanks for being a friend."5th March, 2009
