I began viewing flickr in '06 enjoying the images of my friends, Doris and Jaki, aka dailyville and jakig. Never even thought about joining flickr, as the only photography I'd done was the usual family and vacation snapshots. What did get me started in August 07 was the desire to comment on one of Doris' images. Found out quickly that you had to join to comment. I just had to ID the bee she posted (hence my flickr name), so now I'm a flick'rite, as well. The worrying started soon after-what if someone visits my site, and I have no images. The first upload was a silly one of my daughter, Anita, and grandson, Evan. No, that didn't stop the worrying. I didn't want to have just 1 photo on the site, so maybe I could take some pictures in my yard with my Sony pocket camera. Once I took the first macro shot--I was hooked.

My 2nd camera was a Canon PowerShot SX100IS with a better zoom to capture the birds and wildlife. It's also a point and shoot, but with manual functions, as well. A great camera to learn on, and I have a lot to learn. I bought my 1st SLR (Rebel XSI) in January 2009, and had to wait until warmer weather to practice with the manual functions. Just doesn't work well with winter gloves. My husband, Jim, is the real photography expert, but hasn't yet succumbed to the digital craze. He does, however, give me pointers to help achieve my goals. One step at a time, I say.

I've made wonderful friends through flickr, and learned a lot about the world around me. Limited time to play does force me to keep my contacts at a logical number. I initially tried to keep up with posting in awarded groups, and awarding, but had to make a choice between that and my contacts. My contacts won out easily, and I comment first on those who regularly comment on my pics, and then as time allows to my other contacts. Thanks to all of them for their encouragement and suggestions while visiting my photostream, and especially their photos shared on flickr.

I live in a small southern Ohio town with my husband, Jim, and surrounded by nature and wildlife. Blessed with 4 amazing daughters, 2 successful sons-in-law, and 5 beautiful grandchildren. Can't leave out the 3 grandpuppies and 2 grandkitties.

If you're interested in purchasing any of my photos, please send a flickr email, and I'll post it on my website, "Down Songbird Lane" with link listed above right.

See you all on flickr.

    "Glenda is one of my earliest contacts, and is definately one of my best flickr friends. She is just the nicest person I've met on flickr, which is saying a lot, because there are soooo many wonderful people on flickr! Viewing her pictures, is like reading Brer Rabbit! Her animal pictures are so precious and her humor is quick, that it always makes me chuckle! If you haven't read Brer Rabbit, do so...and you will see exactly what I mean."

    "Glenda is usually one of the first with kind remarks on my pictures, which is always good for morale. Her own photographs are technically and artistically competent, and provide an entertaining and educational documentary on the varied wildlife with which she shares her home and garden. Thanks Glenda."

    "Glenda, as well as being a superb photographer, is extremely generous in her praise of others. Her photos are beautifully detailed and for someone on the opposite side of the globe, a real eye opener."

    "I don't know Glenda personally, but she is one of the first persons I met since I started to use Flickr. She lives in a beautiful place full of wildlife, and with her camera and talent she constantly brings amazing captures to our eyes. It does not matter if it is a macro shot, a bird, a squirrel, a landscape or whatever; you can always feel her love for nature and photography. Glenda is also an extremely kind woman constantly supporting her contacts in the Flickr community, and I'm very happy to consider her one of my friends !"

    "I'm constantly amazed and inspired by Glenda's pictures; she's created some of the most astounding macros I've seen and has an excellent photographer's perspective and eye for what's most pleasing and exceptional about the world we all too often take for granted.

    She's definitely broadening my own capacity for appreciating, both photographically and emotionally, the uniqueness and beauty of all kinds of life surrounding me every day."
