My husband and I retired and moved to the west valley near Phoenix in 2005. We are having a good time exploring this beautiful state of Arizona. There are so many places to visit here and the landscape is so diversified.

I love looking at other people's photos from all over the USA and the world. I continue to try to improve my photography skills and am still learning.

All rights are reserved on ALL photographs in my stream. They cannot be used in any way without my express permission. Thanks.

I have become more interested in photography since retiring and will forever be an amateur striving to better myself as a photographer. I continue to learn as I go. I use a Sony Alpha 100 DSLR camera and a Canon Rebel Xt1i that I bought in March 2010.

If you do not have any contacts and have no photos posted on Flickr, please do not fave my photos. I will block you! I dislike people that only 'collect' photos and don't bother to participate in commenting and having contacts. If I make you a contact, I will view your photos and comment on them. Please don't make me a contact if you do not want to comment on my photos in return.

If you have a gray block as an icon, please don't make me a contact. If you have more than 3-400 contacts, why do you need another one? Please don't make me a contact.

Thank you for viewing my photos.

    She is also a loyal flickr friend & I hope to keep her as one....
    Thanks for being someone who continually comments on my shots with friendly & complimentary thoughts.

    Hugs,

    "I can't remember when I came across Nicki's stream, but when I saw her photo's I was hooked. I love her desert & humming bird photo's. Her part of the country is so beautiful. Nicki is my National Geographic for Arizona. Nicki is a great photographer who makes you feel you are right there with her while she is taking the photograph. I am disappointed when I sign on and do not see any photo's from Nicki. Keep the photo's coming Nicki!!!"

    "I enjoy following Nicki's photostream...each day brings another part of the life she shares with us all through Flickr.

    Whether it be shots of her dogs, funny things she sees in her travels or just plain beautiful captures of hummingbirds, sunsets, etc.

    A talented lady who is always kind enough to stop by and comment on people's streams. Thanks for being a good contact, Nicki."

    "I was trying to recall what picture drew me to Nicki’s photo stream. I am almost certain that it was one of her excellent hummingbird shots. I know she thinks they could be better; but I disagree, they are right up there with some of the best I’ve seen on Flickr. I also love her creativity with her photo enhancements—before I wrote this, I looked back at some of her shots and found many enhanced pics that were really clever and very nicely done. I know how difficult it can be to figure out how to use PS or Elements, so my hat goes off to her. I think she is stubborn like I am and will stick with something until she figures out how to do it!

    I have also met Nicki personally (along with Michele/Lizard Gal) and am so happy that we three made that photo shoot date in Glendale. I am also glad that I can now call both of these sweet ladies friends.

    Spend a little time looking back into Miss Nicki’s photo stream—she was good back then; but like all of us, has evolved into a very talented photographer. My favorites are and always will be her hummer shots—although I would swear that she adds something extra to the feeder to persuade them to pose long enough to get those outstanding images, LOL!"

    "Nicki's pics are always interesting and different. Whether it's the beauty of Arizona (that we are both learning is amazing) or a NASCAR vision of speed, her vision shines through! Take the time and check out her photostream. It is truly delightful!"

    "My name is Ron.
    I owe a lot to Nicki because she introduced me to Flickr, and for that I will be eternally grateful. Her photos are a sight to behold and she has given me lots of inspiration to keep on taking photos, and hopefully I will be half as good as she is over time. Nicki is also a very nice and unassuming person and I feel honoured to know her. Thanks Nicki."
