`Loriel's photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

Since my early childhood years I have always been interested in photography. Only in those early years it was mostly spent looking at pictures through family albums. That all changed in my pre-teen years when I got my first camera and discovered the magic in capturing moments in time. From the time my now young adult married children were born, to now presently having three small grandchildren..I Lost count of how many pictures I have of my entire family, and I’m still clicking away. :-)

I love nature, and not to many in my family that I love dearly get as excited as I do over my pictures of leaves, mushrooms, insects, flowers, birds, ect. ;-) ….so I came here to flickr to share my mostly all nature pictures, in this wonderful photographical community. I'm a complete amateur, and taking pictures for me is a hobby, as is my flickering. It’s a pretty fun hobby to, and a learning one as well. I have learned a lot here, and hope to continue to learn even more.

If you have visited my photo stream, and are considering making me a contact, please know that if I reciprocate that contact relationship back, I certainly don’t expect you to visit all of my pictures...but I do have a habit of spending most of my flickr time with the contacts I have more of a relationship with, then the ones I hardly hear from. ;-)

Besides nature photography, I enjoy studio still life, views from all over the world, and more…you may want to look at my favorites section, to get an idea of what I enjoy looking at when I’m here.

Thanks so much for stopping by! :-)

"It's so easy to say nice things about Lori, she is one of the very nicest people on Flickr. The word that comes to my mind to describe her photography is tenderness. She treats each and every subject with the utmost respect and care and especially tenderness creating pictures of high quality and great depth..
And if that is not enough she is a most generous friend with thoughtful comments on anything I post. Please view her wonderful photostream. I think you'll find it lights up its own corner of Flickr."

"Lori.....
where do you start? With her beautiful photographs? Or is it in her undying support for her contacts? Or her thoughtful comments regarding others. Or is it in her inspirational work that she presents so beautifully. Or is it the fact that all of these things combined make one beautiful and extraordinary person. Always humble, always supporting, always there when you need a cheerful photograph to look at. I can honestly say I am awed by some of her work, and am very happy to have her as a contact.

"Of your Animal Life Set:
Lori, you really are a very accomplished photographer - the whole set of these animals is something of which you should feel really proud. I live in an urban area, and without a car it is not easy to get deep into the countryside to do any photography. So often you have caught eye-contact which, in my opinion, makes any photograph not good but excellent. It has been good to have had this opportunity to check this set out. Thank you very much."

"Lori. As always I am amazed and it brings me great pleasure knowing that you enjoy my photos. Thank you for your continued words of encouragement. Being surrounded by constant reminders of negativity I find that these brief moments of photographic bliss help keep me balanced and focused on the beauty which surround us if we just open up our blinders. I don’t know if I will ever attain your level of photographic genius but then again it’s the fun and brief moments of true sanity ( one in nature) that is really important. Again thank you Lori for all your kind words (you don’t know how much they have meant to me) and if you are ever in this neck of the woods it would give me great pleasure to buy you a Starbucks coffee or tea! Frank."
