  "To experience Gloria's stream of beautiful imagery is to take a journey through the countryside and pausing to enjoy the scenic vistas and fine details along the way. The care and passion Gloria invests in her imagery is a sign of her respect and appreciation for all things great and small. It is continually a pleasure to witness the wonderful visions of this kind and generous friend. Thank you Gloria for sharing your experiences and for being a sincere friend."

  "Gloria is one year photographer only!
  How would she be after, let's say 10 years?
  This makes us... jealous!
  The girl has the eye, the mind, the feeling...!
  This is all it takes!"

  "Gloria is an amazing photographer who captures nature in it's finest form. She has a great ability to capture the light and use that to enhance her photos. Virtually everything she shots be it florals or butterflies, seascapes or landscapes....they turn out amazing! She has always been a great Flickr friend to me and I always look forward to seeing her new postings."

  When I first joined flickr one of my first visits was Gloria's wonderful captures,
  I always enjoy her river shots and I love to read about her captures,
  That alone shows me that she really wants to share all her knowledge along with her wonderful photos,
  From the beginning she became one of my wonderful friends and I hope we stay friends.
  Thanks for the wonderful captures and friendship Gloria!"

  "Words can't do them justice, but commenting on islanddreams132's photographs give me great pleasure anyhow, let alone viewing them.
  Whether her landscape and nature photos are shot while hiking through the snows of Pennsylvanian winter woods with evidence that her only neighbours are bears, whether she's taking photos of rural covered bridges that would make Robert Kincaid envious, or even when she is photographing more contemporary bridges, there is a tone to islanddreams132's photos that conjures and pays tribute to the past. This is a familiar world we're seeing and yet an ideal one too and in this sense alien. But it's something we'd like to be a part of. And islanddreams132's photos make us a part of it.
  And islanddreams132 approaches the present with the same generous courtesy. Nobody is more encouraging - and constant - when commenting on her contacts' photos. She is a gifted photographer whose photos I always look for, the most forgiving of critics (though unfortunately never critical), and a Flickr contact whose friendship has been indispensable.
  And yet if islanddreams132 has one eye on the past, she has the other on the future.HDR is having an immense impact on photography. And though I resent that impact, and though I don't feel her photos require HDR, I admire islanddreams132 for experimenting with it. You can't fight technology anyhow. It tends to loosen things up, and where photography is concerned it's liberating. And islanddreams132 wields HDR extremely well, freeing up her photos like she uses her photos to free up the past.
  In one sense photography has always been about technology, and if you let it technology will leave you behind. islanddreams132 is one of a number of Flickr friends I have who is not going to be left behind. I just hope she'll send me emails from the future once in a while - and her photos."

She is one of the most consistent, kindest and generous contacts I have. She shares these attributes with everyone. Flickr is a better place because she is a member!"

  "islanddreams' passion for seascapes and landscapes is shown in her work. Her photos spark imagination, and are a joy to view. She has a great sense of humor as can be seen in some of her images as well as some of her comments. Mostly, though, she is a warm and generous spirit. I consider myself very fortunate to have connected with islanddreams in flickr."
