Her genuine love for animals is quite obvious and the comments she gives to me and others are always much appreciated. Her sharing of photos is quite nice, and I can only hope to keep seeing more of her beautiful images in the future!

  Connie is somebody of exceptional and a very great kindness, that “feels “in all photographs I am proud to count it with the numbers of my friends!!

  "This has been long over due. Visiting Connie's photos is such a treat to anyone that loves animals and excellent photography. So much eye candy here ! She has a unique way of capturing the personality of the animals she photographs. I am always drawn to the eyes as it's in the eyes one can tell so much. First...The eyes tell me Connie loves the animals she photographs. Second....The animals love/respect her. Her photography is magical and so many times I am in awe and so inspired by her. She always leaves wonderful comments and so encouraging and many times with a touch of humor which I love. Connie loves horses and had beautiful horses at one time . I had horses growing up but we share a love of horses. Every time I am around horses I think....Connie is going to love this photo of this horse or horses. I adore her dogs and often beg for more photos of her dogs. She brings the zoo to those of us who don't have the chance to see and learn about these amazing animals.
  She brings so much education and I have learned so much about the different types of zoo animals and birds.
  Thanks so much for your friendship and the privilege of visiting your photo stream."

  "Connie is a wonderful person. She's not only shooting almost perfect animal pictures, but she is also a great friend, always willing to talk or comment others' pictures. I really appreciate her contact.
  Her photostream contains some of the most wonderful animal portraits (especially big cats) that I've seen on Flickr. She shoots them with such a passion and a sense of detail that watching her photographs is always a great experience. One sees that she loves animals, her pictures are so full of character!"

  "As a lover of animal photography, I find it a pleasure to visit Connie's photostream every day. Her passion for zoo photography shines in all her photos. Connie has a knack for capturing an animals personality, whether it's the intensity of the tigers or cheetahs or the almost human emotions of the great apes. I share her enthusiasm for observing and shooting animals at the zoo and greatly value her as a flickr friend."

  "Connie's photos are some of the best wildlife photos on flickr! You rarely see the boundaries of the zoo, and would think she has spent years in tropical forests and jungles capturing these images. National Geographic should snatch her up!"

  Domesticated Diva says:

  "Connie is an amazing photographer and a great friend. She is always there to leave such nice comments on a regular basis which I'm sure is sometimes hard since sometimes I post a lot and it is hard to keep up with me, but she does. I have told her time after time she needs to start charging the Cincinnati Zoo for her photographs because they, the zoo, should use them for their advertising. They are so amazing. It is like she talks to the animals through her lenses and makes them pose for her at will. She is an inspiration to me both as a photographer and as a person. She is amazing and I'm so lucky to have her as a friend."

  "For the compassion and humor with which lemperleconnie approaches and photographs wild animals, she is one of the few Flickr photographers whose work I've come to revere.
  
  She has other subjects: stunning dance studies and portraits of her daughters which are unforgettable - and equally striking composites created with her image editor. But whether it's lemperleconnie's photos of eagles, lions or Mexican wolves, the images I recall most affectionately are those of her animals.
  
  And she will tell you stories with her photos. See 'Come here loverboy!' for example, a comic indictment of male obstinacy (and desire) and female wiles (and desire) played out between a silverback and his mate all in one photograph. Or in the course of a photo series she depicts a polar bear playing giddily (there is no other word for it) with a potential mate he has just met. And after bending your funnybone with silverback antics and then eliciting your wonder at just how 'human' polar bears and other animals can be, lemperleconnie gives us a gorilla story of a mother and infant as moving as any photo I've seen ('Warmth and security'). In fact many of her animal photos emphasize the importance of family.
  
  These animals have soul. We will speak of an animal looking soulful, but how often do we credit it with soul? Well, lemperleconnie's photos credit her animals with soul and the reason is simple: For the humor and compassion which lemperleconnie brings to her creations not only illuminate the soul in her animals, they instill soul in her photographs too."

  "Wow, how do you begin to thank and congratulate someone whose Nature photos are some of the best that you've ever seen. Connie gets photos of wildlife in their most natural and beautiful form that can be imagined. The color, the composition, everything is so beautiful.
  A stroll through her stream is like walking through the Kalahari; visiting the lions and all lother wildlife that crosses her path. Since I'm fairly new at digital, I'm always paying close attention to others' work, to try and learn their style. Not just in taking the photos, but in how to portray them with appropriate cropping and to show their true beauty, and even their character.
  Keep them Connie, I'm taking lots of notes........."

  "I am a young photographer who is trying to learn as much as possible. Connie was the first person to contact me and comment on my photos here on FLICKR. She has been a inspiration and encouragment to my young and immature work. Her work continually challenges me to work harder, so that I can try and capture the personality of her pictures. What a gift she has developed and continues to use so that WE can enjoy God's Creation!! Thank you Connie, for making this venture (photography) I have set out on, a little more rewarding. Hopefully, I catch up with you at the Zoo!!"

  "Connie.
  Friendship Ambassador.
  She has a big sensitivity that puts into her pictures and into her splendid relashionship with her flicker’s friends.
  Many of her photos are relate to wildlife. Animals seems to have become her friends with their trustful attidude towards her lens. It is not so easy!!
  Surely is Connie’s discreet and light and good-natured character that makes Life loving her.
  
  Thank you Connie

  Her Zoo pics are incredible. You get a sense of personality from each critter she photographs which isnt always easy to do.
  Connie ALWAYS takes the time to comment on my pictures and even go as far as to invite to special groups which takes ALOT of time.
  Thank you for this and making Flickr such a wonderful community of talent and friendships!"

  "Connie is the most wonderful of photographers. Her particular field of expertise is animal shots. She always manages to capture the perfect moment and her images display compassion, humour and love, traits which are obvious in Connie's own personality. Despite a recent health scare within her family, Connie would still find time to comment and lend support to other Flickr members. She is a great ambassador for Cincinnati Zoo and I count myself very fortunate indeed, to call her my friend."
