Joy's Snap Shots' photostream
|
I hope through my pictures to praise the Lord for the wonders He has made!
A majestic sunset! Awesome clouds and trees! The sounds and life of nature living on a pond! The tiny world of insects going on in and under the blades of grass! The beauty of a river flowing even when you're not viewing it! The falling of rain and dew and the beauty of the canvas they leave behind!
The changing of the seasons! There is beauty in each season.
The spring has the new life of animals, trees and plants!

The summer has the insects and flowers!

The fall has the changing of the leaves and the hoar frost!

The winter has the snow and ice!

Joy has been such a good friend to me. She has encouraged me when I was down. She has given me joy many times.

"Not long ago I came across one of Joy's outstanding landscape pieces that was astonishing to me. Since then, I have watched Joy's work expand into beautiful pieces of art. Her love of nature and the peace it can give our hearts is so apparent! She has been a constant supporter for so many Flickr artists. I look forward to seeing so much more of Joy's artwork!"

"I don't know if this profile page will hold any more compliments...had to scroll down to see where this will fit in.
If you can imagine the Holy Spirit (the Comforter whom Christ has sent to each that believes in His death and resurrection) using a camera to photograph His own makings.....then know that He has clicked the camera many times over when Joy is the one focused on taking the pictures. The Lord delights in His Praise that He receives from each of us believers and is glorified when we give Him all the credits that He so deserves! Joy C. does not hesitate to give GOD all the glory and that is why her photostream smiles at us!"19th December, 2008

"God knew when he gave Joy her tremendous talent that she would use it for His glory. He knew she would share that talent with others and allow Him to use it to bless, encourage and inspire the people that come into her life. If you have seen any of Joy's gorgeous photos you will understand exactly what I mean. To view her work is to be touched by the Master's hand. She sees and captures so much beauty and then presents it with so m uch creativity. The scriptures she couples with her photos make beautiful combinations of God's creation and His living Word.
Joy, I am so blessed to call you my friend. You were one of my first contacts when I came to flickr. I have been in awe of your work and ministered to many times by it. I love that we are sisters. You are a precious person. Your talent is amazing and so is the generous way you share it.
Thank you for being such a wonderful and faithful flickr friend and sister in Christ. You are a blessing not only to me but to everyone who knows you and experiences your beautiful gifts!"10th October, 2008

"I thank God for Joy. The best that we can possibly do in life is to reflect God, love Him and Love others. Joy's photos, the verses that she shares and the encouragement that she gives to others continually reflect God and his love. So many times I have read the verses on Joy's photos and they lift me up and remind me of God's truths, just when I need them most. Thank you Joy!"

"Joy has become a favorite of mine on Flickr. Her photos always reflect her feelings, and make me feel as if I am right beside her when she is taking a picture! Her ability to capture details in even the most common things, and make them beautiful always amazes me! I have learned a lot about photography by admiring her work, not to say I could ever take photos of the quality and vibrance that she does! She is one of the first to leave a comment on my shots, and is very gracious and sweet in her comments. Her reliance and love for God is present in all she does or writes, and I get a lift from reading her verses she posts with her pics...:o) She also uses the same camera as mine, a Fuji FinePix S700... although in her hands it becomes magical! Take the time to browse through her photos, you will be amazed! Thanks for being my friend, Joy!"

"Joy, you are an incredible photographer, and flickr friend. You have the gift to really “see” and capture the true beauty that surrounds you, and turn it into a work of art that inspires my mind, and nourishes my soul. Whether its one of your wonderful macros, serene scenic views, or creative creations I just want to thank you for sharing them, and for the wonderful feelings I feel when I view them as well. Thank you to Joy, for your kind supportive comments. It’s such a pleasure for me to view your work here, and have you as a flickr friend to."

"Her pictures is sooo G R E A T!
It's something "personal"
She has the "eye of seeing" and became more conscious on this, when she got her Digital SLR.
She has a very unique "style" of presentation: the Framing, the color and the type of the frame. It really matches the whole composition.
One thing I'd like most is the addition of the Word of God as the gift enhanced....her testimony is also being used and developed as time goes by.
She has the ability of influence other people of the same category.
May God Bless You."1st July, 2008

"Joy's photos are seen through eyes of love! Her spirit is uplifting and just viewing the photos in her photostream is a heart warming experience.
Joy, your steadfast love of the beauty that surrounds you and the obvious worship of the Creator is an inspiration. It's a blessed beginning or end to each day to be able to view your photos first or last for the encouragement and just the relief that they give me. Often, you have posted something or said just the very thing that I needed to see or hear to lift my spirit and remind me that the Lord does care and listens to my heart. You are a true blessing to me and I'm sure to many others. This is a calling for you and you have answered well."12th May, 2008

"I have enjoyed having Joy as a Flickr contact only a short while, but already I'm so impressed with her talent for color and design. Her compositions are striking, and often artfully presented in frames. I don't know whether she comes by this ability naturally, or whether she has studied art. At any rate, she is a photographer whose work delights and instructs."

"From the moment I set eyes on Joy's photo stream I was blown away by the sheer beauty of all her pictures. Joy is an awesome photographer and so very creative. From the most stunning rose pic to a pic of a simple stone, Joy manages to captivate her viewers with her incredible gift of opening one's eyes to the beauty of God's creations. There are so many things that I took for granted before that I now view in a different light through Joy's eyes.
Joy has a unique style of her own in the presentation of her fabulous work and her photo stream is definitely one of my most favorites. Thank you Joy for sharing your beautiful images and also for always taking the time to visit and comment on my pics no matter how busy you are. I feel so blessed to have met you here on Flickr. God bless you."13th December, 2007

"Joy is definitely one of Flickr's special photographers! She has that ability to capture the creation of the Lord she so obviously loves...and each day yet another outstanding photo brings a certain awe to my heart and soul.
She is also a wonderful Flickr friend, and I have so appreciated her comments, encouragement and spiritual care in my short time as a fellow clicker on Flickr. I enjoy the wonderful passages of Scripture she chooses to go with a photo, or the song that lifts the heart and the beautiful finishing touches that set each photo apart from the usual.
Thank you Joy, for being you!...and for touching my life.
May the Lord bless you in every aspect of your life here, for as long as we are here waiting on Him coming!
Your friend in Him, Elizabeth"11th September, 2007

"Joy’s pictures capture the images and gives marvelous testimonial of God’s wonderful creation. Her love for the Lord’s blessings in our lives is presented with biblical verses that are truly inspiring and they are a reminder of God’s unconditional love for all of humanity and of his promises to us. Browsing through Joy’s photo stream is a great delight and an everlasting joy as her name is. She brings joy with the way in which she presents her work and the beautiful framing that she chooses for them. Her subjects are varied and that is what makes this experience very wonderful. With her subjects, ranging from an awesome ocean wave to a gorgeous river scene, from a small beautiful ladybug to a simple pretty pebble lying on the sand, Joy brings the viewer a stunning presentation of all the awesome and wonderful nature surrounding us. Those images are absolutely a precious gift from God. Many times, we cannot visit those gorgeous places as the ones she captures with her camera, but looking through them is enough to know that the world is so beautiful and they are an inspirational learning experience which provides a soothing, calming effect and warms the heart!
Since the time I have come in contact with Joy, she has been a loyal and faithful Flickr friend who takes the time to visit one’s photo stream to make encouraging comments which prompts one to continue to take pictures. She also invites our photos to great Flickr groups where they will be seen and appreciated as she appreciates them. Joy has been a great blessing in my life and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the wonderful support that you have provided me in so many different ways. I feel honored to be among your Flickr contacts.
May God bless you always!
Truly,
Edna"25th August, 2007

"Joy, your pictures have truly inspired me. They are well taken and beautifully presented. I have to admit to trying your style occasionally because I admire your work, but they never appear as good!
It's been a pleasure to "get to know" a fellow believer who is not afraid to share her faith and give credit where credit is due~to our Heavenly Father, the Creator of all things."21st August, 2007

fantartsy JJ *VERY BUSY!** says:
"Joy, you have more than lived up to your name. You came forth and helped and asked no more than to do this to help out a friend. I know we don't know each other personally, but I feel we could be sisters. I do know that your generosity of spirit and your loving ways are that of a wonderful person and a blessed Christian. You touch so many others with your love - you are building mansions in heaven for yourself and all those who have the blessing of meeting you! May God bless and keep you always. Also, you are one of the best photographers on Flickr. You bring to your photo art what you bring to your everyday life. A love of nature, and the gladness of heart that makes you very special. I am blessed to have met you. Thanks so very much for all you do, not only for me, but for everyone! hugs and love, JJ"
