2012's photostream

First of all I am a Christian, a sixth generation Texan, a wife, a mom, a Nana (grandmother), a sister, a friend,a journalist, a travel agent, a birder, a collector, a hobby photographer, a cancer survivor, and passionate about it all!!! At the persistent insistence of a dear lifelong friend I joined Flickr in October of 2007 and have been Flickring ever since & might add totally lovin it!! Like to keep journals & photograph life, history, Texas, architecture, flowers, Texas, sunsets, rainbows, Texas, reflections, birds, butterflies, Texas and all of nature, did I mention Texas ha ha....plus anything else that catches my eye. A Christmas bride decades ago that has been blessed by God with 3 precious children who have now given me 6 double precious grandblessings. The Bible is a major influence in my life and I take it very seriously. We talk to God in prayer and He talks to us through His Word, the Holy Bible. Travel is my profession and am now a semi-retired travel agent. I travel as much & as often as I can. Member of UDC (United Daughters of the Confederacy) & DRT (Daughters of the Republic of Texas), luv Texas History, & am hooked on genealogy. I am currently working on my DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) application and documentation. Just finished publishing a book on my maternal family genealogy. Have written travel articles for area newspapers. I have battled lymphoma cancer three different times, and I know that I am blessed and very thankful to still be here!!!
The scripture found in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me", has carrried me through each of my cancer battles!!!
October 11, 2009, my husband had a kidney transplant and we are so thankful for the gift of life given...thank you is never enough but it truly is heartfelt!!! We both continue to be very blessed and are so very grateful!!!!
Remember these incredible words found in
St. Matthew 19:26, "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible".
Blessings and Happy Flickring to each of you and hope to see y'all around Flickr!!!

Moyan_Brenn (I'm Back) says:
"I'm writing to say thanks to Angela for her testimonial, the first and unique of my photostream/profile. First of all, i could say about her that she is a constant and friendly person. If you are searching for some contacts with which share your works without being afraid that they will disappear in some days, Angela is the right person for you. Angela is a happy and religious woman who clearly wants to share her happiness with the others, and who is ready to do it with you if you ask her for it. In her photostream there is no intention to compete with the others nor that to show the world she is the best photographer around here. She doesn't hide her works behind exagerated photoretouching technique, she doesn't attract your attention with hypocrital congrats comments on your photos, nor she searchs for perfection, because her photos are just the communication instruments between her and you, so that every photo you see, you can be sure that it contains something important she wants you to know. Sometimes she even accompanies your watching with some lovely sentences by putting them in the pictures itself. Concluding, Angela shows to have all the requirements to be a very nice contact on flickr"

"This testimonial has been too long coming, sorry..
Angela's photostream is a delight to look at and she is such a loving and generous friend of mine When I check out my account after posting a new photo I will usually get a nice comment within two days. Thanks.
Angela's photostream is a work of art. Her flower macros are masterly. But above all, she is a good Flickr friend. Quick to comment and always supportive.
I recommend her work to all.

"Everyonce and now, here on Flickr someone comes along, and you forget when it was, because eventually, it just seems like they were always there, as you know them and they you so well!
That is my special friend Angela, my Texas Gal, I being orginally one! But I was just born there, she is the "Image of the Great State of Texas"!
And then there is the little thing like her wondeful photography, and story telling thru it. I go to her site and I am going home!
Then there is the fact that she is one wonderful, sincere, and loving friend and Flickrmate. It has been my pleasure and my great luck, and if you know me, you know I am blessed, and that inclues Angela my dear friend from deep "In The Heart of Texas" as being one of the best photographers, most fun, great friend, really good contact, and most sincere of friends here in Flickerland and hopefully beyond
Thank you Angela, for staying with me on my difficult journey. I re read everyones words often, and your's awlays are there in the most caring and loving of ways.
Bravo for this Texas Gal!

"I can't believe I've not written a testimonial for Angela before no. Better late than never though, eh?
She's not just a good photographer and good person but thanks to Flickr she's become a great friend too, or so I like to think. She unfailingly takes the time & trouble to follow my humble stream and comment and encourage, as she does with others too.
Thanks Angela, you're exactly what Flickr is all about."15th July, 2010

"One of the best things I did was accept Angie as a Flickr friend. She has a way to make each of your photos feel special. The beauty of her faith and nature comes through her own photos that she shares with all of us lucky flickr members. I truly enjoy reading her comments and get inspiration from her in many ways."

"I don't remember how I found Angela's photos. I am sure that it had something to do with Texas. Her photos bring the beauty of her travels and stories that tell of history and the world around her. From an old Texas fort to the flag on our country, she captures the world around her giving it life. She is a blessing to us all and we charish her life and Faith. Well done, servant of God."

"Angie is an inspiration. Her love of family and joy for life drives her and others to keep the faith and fight the fight. She captures her experiences in words and photographs and influences others through doing so. Her faith that the Lord will be beside her is undying. My lifetime friend, it's a pleasure to see your beautiful travels whenever I get a break."
