Colleens Creations' photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I am an amateur photographer who takes my camera everywhere. I photograph things that I think are beautiful and catch my eye. My first love is photographing nature and animals, especially roses and my cat Max,....but my "Macro Eraser Practice" series is near and dear to my heart!

I am inspired by someone who encourages me and helped me work through my past, brings life and love in the present, and he points me towards a bright future full of possibilities...always. He showed me that it doesn't matter if others believe in you, it only matters that you believe in yourself.

" Querida amiga, quisiera dedicarte unas palabras y no repetir lo que han escrito otros compañeros.

Sólo decirte que para mí supone una gran alegría haberte conocido y que me consideres tu amigo, verdaderamente es un gran honor para mí.

No puedo dedicarte todo el tiempo que me gustaría viendo y comentando tus fotos, pero el trabajo es el trabajo. Aunque siempre que puedo veo tus fotos y las comento, no puedo dejar de hacerlo, mis amigos en Flickr son lo primero y tú estas entre ellos.

Como fotógrafa, baste decir que me encantan tus imágenes, varias de ellas las elegí como favoritas, me parecen muy sensibles y divertidas, infundes alegría con tus fotos y eso siempre es bienvenido.

Un abrazo muy fuerte Colleen!!!!"

"Colleen is one of the most creative people on Flickr.
Her eraser series is not only funny and to the point but
so totally creative. Her rose photos are truly outstanding.
And her animal photos are way better than she knows.
But what really makes her stand out is her caring and great
compassion for her flickr friends.You will not find a better friend than Colleen. I just saw her reach out to help another friend. Anyone on Flickr will know this testimonial is long over due,and for that I am truly
sorry.One of the best things about Flickr is Colleen's friendship and
I value it very much.Thank you Colleen.
Charles Adams"

"Colleen is one of those rare people who's heart is so big it just transcends into everyone's life around her. It also flows into her work. Her love for capturing the wonder of nature and seeing the humor of life is reflected in her beautiful and creative images which instantly draw so many people around her sparkly glow. I treasure her friendship and the light that shines from within her."

"Ok, here's how it is with Colleen: it's not just about her technique as a photographer, which is spot on, it's also about her amazing and seemingly endless creativity. I'm always genuinely looking forward to what she's gonna come up with next...and she always delivers! Great sense of humor and tenderness. She's also a very caring FLICKR friend...glad I stumbled upon her creations, and so are you if you're reading this!"

"I must check back through our photostreams as to how Colleen and I met. And having met Colleen thru Flickr has been a very happy experience for me. Colleen always has beautiful things to say about everything and everyone. I am practicing to take a leaf or 3 out of her book in this regard. Her personality absolutely shines thru and thru in all her beautiful comments to people all over the world. I am certain Colleen puts a smile on many a face thru Flickr.

Colleens talent in the photography area is in my eyes OUTSTANDING. She certainly has the patience required when it comes to animal pictures. And has been very kind to pass on tips to me. I appreciate this so much.

I feel so very privilaged to have become your friend Colleen, you are such a beautiful , sincere, and happy lady with the most gorgeous infectious smile."

"Colleen is a master rose whisperer!! That's what I call her, also my rose mentor & muse...if only I could create a rose as breathtaking!! I also love her quirky still lives with object as she makes wonderful themes with her imaginative titles! Her animal shot, especiallt with cats are equally impressive, plus her sense of humor is a hoot!"

Lars Clausen says:

"I will say that those who do not know Colleen cheat themselves from knowing a rewarding, immensely creative and lovable person whose friendship I really appreciate.

But do not be deceived under the always friendly and smiling surface there is a skilful photographer who exactly knows what she wants in her quest for perfection."

"When I think of Colleen I think that she has been specially chosen by Mother Nature as the person that will take the very best photos of Mother Natures creations.
Her flower captures, especially her roses for which she is famous, are just a delight, her animal photos capture the very essence of the animal
and her "Macro Eraser Practice" should be on doctors perscription for everyone in the world as laughter medicine!
On top of all this, Colleen is the sweetest, most caring person I know and I thank Flickr for the chance to find her."

"Colleen is one of the sweetest people I have run into here on Flicker. Always quick with an encouraging word and even quicker with a smile. Her Photostream is one I look forward to on a daily basis. And now she has corrupted..err...INSPIRED me to think outside the box and start taking goofy photos of my frogs.
Thank you Collen for being you and loving life enough to be silly when ever possible!! You are a wonderful woman and I count myself blessed to know you."

"i have known Colleen for as long as I have been on Flickr...she is a good photographer and has a great "eye" for good photography. The best part about her is her loyalty and entusiasm for other people work ! In my case she is the 1st one to comment on the photographs as soon as they are posted...sometimes even before I am done finishing the explanation of the photo. There are no better friends in my book...than colleen. john hoellerich (fotogjohnh! And she has a wonderful sense of humor !"

""The ever smiling Colleen is one of the funniest & kindest people I know on flickr. I love Colleen's photostream, so much variety, humour and fantastic photos. Her creativity never ceases to amaze me! Colleen's 'macro eraser' shots are so fun & creative and she has inspired me (is to blame lol!) to create chick pea shots, long may the silliness continue :)""
