Recently returned to the UK after more than 38 years living in Norway.

I started taking interest in photography in the late summer of 2007 - inspired by all the fantastic pictures I have seen on Flickr. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve and appreciate the good help I have received from other Flickr members.

My uploaded pictures are for my own pleasure and memories but I am happy if others enjoy them as well. Flickr is a wonderful place for virtual travel and seeing the world through the eyes of others. I like to use Flickr as a venue to meet up and share pictures with others with similar interests.

Currently using:
Canon Eos Rebel XT which was purchased from eBay as refurbished.
Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot mobile phone.
Point and shoot Fuji Finepix 6800zoom which I have had since 2001. (rarely in use now)
Older pictures are scans from various cameras I have had.

I like to keep Flickr on a personal level. If you find you are no longer one of my contacts please don't be offended - it is probably because you seldom visited and I was using too much time commenting people who hardly ever reciprocated! It is not meant as a personal insult. I make an effort to visit my contacts each day but once in a while I miss one or two unintentionally.

    "I would just like to say a few words about Pat's work. Her photos are so varied and interesting you just never know what will pop up next, Her scenic Norway images are massive favourite of mine. I love photographers who really explore their subjects and Pat is definitely one of those. Do take the time to explore her stream. On a personal note she is a great Flickr friend to have and is always there with a comment and some feedback.""

    "Being a bit slow, I've only just realised that I've not written a testimonial for one of my bestest (is that a word?), flickr friends.
    Pat's skill as a photographer is clear, her loyalty in commenting on her contacts pictures unswerving. Beyond that she has great sense of humour and a appreciation of irony :-)

    Most of all though she is a great mate.

    Good on yer Girl."

    "Patricia is one of my first contacts on Flickr ! She is always present and supportive, I am very thankful of it I am glad to know her and her photography. Her : she is a wonderful person with a huge sense of humour. Her photography : Patricia could be an Ambassador either of Bexhill on Sea or Ålesund. Her pictures of both cities are simply fantastic. Her range is very wide and whatever subject she shoots, it is beautifully done. So I urge everyone to discover Patricia's photostream !"

    "Patricia has an amazing eye for photography.

    Her work is very compeling and always stimulates the eye and the mind. For someone who picked up the camera so recently , it is a marvelous gift.

    Her photo stream include exotic nature, landscapes, and seascapes which are a pleasure to behold. The occasional animal makes an appearance, once in a while .

    Great to see Patricia's work as it unfolds in exotic locations of this world."

    "Patricia is one of my great friend in flickr! She has always been a great encourager, supporter of my beginning here in flickr and that continues to this day. Many of my plants, animal, birds etc would stay nameless if it wasn't for her help (Thank you!). I am also an admirer of her work (her great photography). Her portfolio is full of colors, composition, creativity ... all that should be in a great profile. I truley appreciate her friendship and hope to continue it for lifetime ahead. Keep up the wonderful work as you are an asset to the flickr community."

    "Beyond Pat's awesome photography skills, is also an awesome person. This past December, our daughter was badly injured in an accident, and Pat not only lifted her up in prayer and positive thoughts herself, but began a link for her to ask for thoughts and prayers from many others. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get this written for you Pat! I am thankful I met Pat on flickr and look forward each time I log in to seeing what she has captured and posted for the day; her post are always exciting!!! I'm proud to call Pat my friend. Thanks for everything Pat. Hugs!!!"

    "Whether its Bexhill, Norway or other parts of the world that Pat has visited
    her pictures are always beautiful. You don’t have to think composition they just seem somehow “right”.
    First I thought it must be the Norwegian air that gives the sharpness and clarity to the picture but all of her pictures have that same quality.

    I look forward to watching Pats portfolio grow."

    "I met Pat because of Matti, one of her her lovely cats , but soon discovered she is an excellent photographer with great eye and a wonderful person too. I enjoy visiting her photostream, it is mesmerizing and soothing to the heart and soul. She lives close to the sea which I love , so that makes her photos more appealing to me . Her comments are always thoughtful and she is very straightforward which i appreciate a lot . Thank you for being such a great person , for your friendship and support in difficult times :)

    Hugs,
    Andy"

    "I have a problem with Patricia's photo stream. As soon as I mark a shot as a Fav, or invite her to post a shot to some group or other, I see yet another with equal or greater merit. Her work is so beautiful that it seems to me unfair to assign any preferences, since to do so is somehow to marginalise hundreds of other wonderful shots . So, I've given in and hope that she'll be content with this testimonial instead."
