Greetings ...thanks for the visit. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.

l try to respond to everyone who leaves a comment on my photos ....and visit not only your latest photos ...but also (if time allows) your back pages .

l do think that communciation between contacts should be a 2-way street ...l periodically delete dead contacts.

l have always loved seeing photos, so when l surf the photostreams of Flickr, l feel like a kid in a candy store.

l am an amateur photographer......enjoy images from nature most of all ....sunsets, flowers, birds , etc

Now living in North Carolina,USA ....having recently moved from Oklahoma......male......born in October, and love that unique shade of blue in certain October skies .....

Have a nice day :-)

    "He is a great nature photographer. Sunrise, Sunset, Mountains, Trees, Flowers, Water, Animals. He captures well the various nature scene. Always those expressions are beautifully, gently, and peacefully. I am very happy to touch his great talent and a good personality. In addition, thanks to him, I am able to travel at any time in the splendid scenery of far away. And probably, about his neighbor's lovely Samantha, it will be needless to say too adorable ;-)
    I am thankful to dear friend Scott. Thank you very much.

    "There is no need to say anything more about Scott's pictures, everything has been said. They are works of art. But I would like to give my personal opinion about his descriptions and comments: They show a quiet, wonderful humour, that is unusual and worthy of love.
    Thank you Scott!"

    "I've know Scott (October Blue) for almost one year now and I have to say that he is truly one of my favorite photographers in the Flickr community.

    I have a specific way I most love to start my day in the morning, and that involves brewing a nice hot cup of coffee, getting comfortable in my office computer chair and visiting Scott's latest photo of the day. I'm addicted to doing this and will often do it regardless of how busy I am and how I should be getting my work day started! :P

    About his photos: My favorites shares are those that appear as a series of photos, taking me on an early morning walk. The horses in the fields behind his house, the foggy winding roads, his beautiful NC village, the fields of flowers, the lovely butterflies, the flowers and trees at the arboretum, the lakes of Oklahoma, his cute cat Samantha and most of all, his sunrise photos - never fail to fill my heart and soul with a sense of joy, peace and hope. There really is no other way to start my day better than to visit his photos and feel the uplift I receive when I view them.

    About his friendship: Scott is a true-blue friend to have here on Flickr. He's so generous with his time, always leaving the most encouraging, kind and often funny comments on my photos. He's always there on a daily basis and even though I've never met him, I feel like he is one of my true friends. He makes me smile and laugh every day and I consider him to be a rare gem.

    Thank-you, Scott - for your sharing your gorgeous photos and for your friendship. I hope you'll always be here on Flickr because I really don't think I could get along well without you! :-) ((HUG ---> for you and Samantha))"

    "Just to let you know that I've appreciated much your photos. The pictures I commented were really "works of art". Those I picked as my favorites were the best of your talent in photography.
    More than your photos...the friendship I have found in you is what impresses me most about you. Though, we communicate via Flickr, it still very endearing to know someone as likeable as you.
    I believe that distance does not separate people like us who find friendship of the lasting kind. As long as there is Flickr and as long as our common love for photography continue...we remain as dear friends. Right?
    Take care in all you do!

    Dear October Blue,
    Your photos have really inspired and touched my sensibilities...everytime I visit your photo stream, I feel delighted for those photos don't just satisfy my eyes but more than communicate about you as a person. I guessed...your talent behind the camera is not just ordinary...you're great in what you do.
    It is my fervent wish that you'll have more interesting photos to share here at Flickr...and as your number one admirer/friend, I also pray that all your cherished wishes you hold in your heart be granted this NEW YEAR 2010. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"

    "Scott is one of my favorite photographers. Ever since we met in Flickr, he has shown himself to be conscientious, considerate and caring as a person. As a fellow photographer, he is one of the best!

    Whenever I feel the urge to see a glorious sunrise, I can count on october blue's photostream to fulfill that wish. He always knows how to capture the finer elements in nature!

    Keep up the good work, Scott!"

    "It's way past the time I should have written a testimonial about October Blue's (Scott's) photos! Scott was one of my very first contacts at flickr, and since the start it has been such a pleasure to see his images. They are always beautiful and joyful...a gift for the eye and the spirit because they convey such optimism and peace. Scott is also one of the kindest, truest contacts I have here.....I still look forward to seeing his shots every day because he sees the natural world in such a special way. I know that when I view his photos I will see a tranquil slice of the world I don't see too often in my own urban setting. Thanks, Scott, for sharing your photos and your kind words over the past year:-)"

    "Scott was one of my first Flickr contacts. I am not sure who found who but I am glad our paths collided. The warmth of his personality and kindness oozes through his photostream. It's packed with beautiful images showing the simplicity of nature. There's a radiant, sunny, "feel good" factor about it - almost like a refuge for soothing away the troubles of the day... I look forward to seeing many more of his photos."

    "Playing with Scott’s nickname and thinking about October I can really say that his photos are like leaves of trees in Autumn. When I see them slowly fallen down, I feel a great sense of peace, happiness in admiring the delicate harmony with which they can create swirling circles before touching ground.
    It’s like this, that I feel looking at Scott’s photos; lost in a wonderful red-rosa tone of a sunset, admiring great water's mirrors of a peaceful lake, make a walk in a garden full of flowers, watching at incredible blue skies; and this sense of peace reflect perfecly also his kind heart, his feeling about what it's around him.
    So, admire once his incredibile talent in painting nature with his camera and sure you didn’t leave his stream anymore!
    Thanks for sharing your world with us, my friend. It’s a really relaxing stop when I pass through your stream and get lost a little in your photos. Grazie mille, also for beeing a costant presence to my stream. A big Ciao!!!!!!!! from the other side of the world. One more thing. Say: “pistacchio!” (instead of “cheese”? :P!:)!!) Got it!..ok now I can go and hide me :P!!:)!..have to say something stupid before leaving :)!!*Starlight*"
