Welcome to my Flickr space and thank you for visiting...I hope you enjoy viewing my images.

I like to travel and enjoy nature and macro photography. When viewing my images, if you wish to comment, please try to be honest. I want to improve, so constructive criticism is welcomed.

I returned to photography as a hobby a few years ago after a break of 15 or so years. I found the Nikonians community a great help. www.nikonians.org/

I was married for over 27 years to my soul mate Marion, but tragically lost her to cancer in the autumn of 2009. In total we had 32 very happy years together. I am currently recovering from this loss, and I am fortunate to have two wonderful sons, James aged 19, and Sean aged 25. My family has always been, and will always be the most important part of my life!

Please pick up your copy here for display on your profile.

I'm sorry, but Blockheads (no icon) without any profile or viewable photos of their own will be blocked...these people usually just steal my images!

"I've known Paul for almost the entire time I've been on Flickr, and consider him to be one of the classiest people I've met here. We've shared Admin duties, gotten to know each others pics, and swapped a few stories. His work is a joy to keep up with, and the better I get to know him, the more I realize just how fortunate I was to encounter him early on. Great knowing you, my friend."

"I always enjoy viewing the beautiful photographs on Paul’s Photostream! He lives in the beautiful country of England where a lot of my ancestors are from. I have never been to England before, but through his wonderful pictures, I can experience it in part! May God’s blessings be with you and your family!"

"Although I came across Paul’s work quite by chance when I was searching for people with the same surname as myself, it turned out to be a wonderful find. Paul’s ability to capture the beauty of the natural world around him leaves you in constant anticipation of his next picture, anyone of which can be looked on as a true work of art."

"Paul's photos are always of the highest quality. While I don't know him personally, I say he must be a bit of a perfectionist. His photos are always perfectly framed, composed and exposed. A Master camera operator!"

"I wish to say that PAUL is an awesome friend and would be a treasured contact for anyone. He is so supportive and a truely great person.

Now his work is remarkable...he brings the world to your doorstep. He travels a bit and I sure am glad he has his camera along....because he brings color and beauty of his travels back with him. He shows me things...that I might have never had the opportunity to see. I just love that about his work. He has a talent that is remarkable.
Now Paul I wish to take a personal message here....and say I treasure your friendship!!!! You are probably one of the longest and truest friends I have had on flickr...don't know why I have not wrote this sooner. I love your visits...they always make me smile. YOU are wonderful!!!!!
HUUUGGSS!!!.....Shell..xx"

"I'd just like to say that no matter what Paul_Wheeler puts on his stream it is always of excellent workmanship. From marvelous macros to wildlife this stream is kept moving and does not stagnate on one particular subject. I look forward to seeing Paul's work when it is uploaded and usually find I am somewhere around 100th down the list to comment and it is no wonder why. Well done and keep it up."
