I have been interested in photography since I was a child, we always had cameras, my mom and dad were always taking pictures and I guess they passed that passion on to me. I am strictly an amateur, I have no desire to become a pro because I take pictures for the sheer joy and pleasure it gives me, it is my relaxation and my passion. My interest is wildlife photography and sunsets.

I am also a two time breast cancer survivor, I consider myself to be very lucky. So....I consider every day a gift to be appreciated and not taken for granted.

I am now pretty much retired so I have lots of time to be able to do what I love, capture wildilfe in it's element. I only hope everyone enjoys my photos as much as I enjoy taking them.

I have met some really wonderful people here on Flikr that have become good friends, that is what I love about flikr, I get to meet people who love photography as much as I do!

    "Paulette's work is a joy to behold every day. I always look forward to coming to her photostream and seeing what wonderful new animal she has photographed and befriended. Her work is such great quality. She has a real talent for capturing expressions and personalities of even the smallest animals. And her love of nature is obvious from her work."

    "I don't know of anyone on these photo sites that is as close to nature as Krittergirl . It's as if she can communicate with the wild things that are around her. She has earned their trust and it is so good that she shares her talents of caring and photography with us..Her talents and kindness deserve great admiration. Thank you Krittergirl!!!!"

    "I have known Paulette for about a year now and she is one of my closest Contacts as I consider her a good friend too! She really bonds with Nature and it shows in her photos. I can't believe she has Kritters eating right out of her hand! I'm jealous, Krittergirl, lol...

    I enjoy visiting her photo stream so much and look forward to see what antics she has written about with each new post. She is SO clever with her Titles and Descriptions matching each photo.

    Paulette has a BIG heart too making sure her backyard of many different kinds of Kritters get fed on a daily basis. They just LOVE her for that and it most certainly shows in the photos she takes...

    Paulette....you are such a wonderful human being as well as a terrific photographer!!! I will always be a huge fan!!!:)xoxox"

    "As I celebrate one year on Flickr,I must acknowledge someone who was there from the very beginning.Paulette is more than a contact to me,she is a friend.She is one of the kindest souls I know.She has been a source of inspiration,support and encouragement.Her images are proof that she is loved by nature."Kritters" come from miles around just to feed at her hand of kindness.She has such a great sense of humor and can put a smile on your face with one of her fat faced chipmunks.Or she can bring amazement as she captures everything there is with wings!From birds,dragonflies to butterflies,her talent is endless!

    So thanks Paulette,for being exactly who you are.You are loved!~Roberta"

    "Krittergirl takes some of the most entertaining and interesting photos I've seen on Flickr! The array of critters which visit her yard is amazing, but this doesn't guarantee such great pictures. She must have the patience of a saint and we all appreciate it because we get to join in her incredible wildlife adventures!"

    "I dont think you can find someone that has a better suited name than Paulette has, Krittergirl. She manages to get pictures of animals and birds that us other nature lovers can only dream of. Her pictures motivate me to get out and try to "keep up."
    Pictures aside, Paulette is one of the nicest, most honest people on Flickr and a great friend to have. My only complaint is that my three year old likes her pictures better than mine and is constantly asking to see the funny chipmunks."
