Photography is a hobby that I have become passionate about, and I am enjoying Flickr tremendously. My husband once gave me a digital SLR for my birthday (the sweetheart!) and I've been unstoppable ever since ;o)

Just recently I upgraded from that Sony Alpha 100 and its 18-200mm lens to a Canon EOS 7D with an assortment of IS USM L lenses: 24-105mm f/4, 100mm f/2.8 macro and 70-200 f/4; and the Speedlite 580 flash.

I am thrilled with this new camera as my hobby takes on a new dimension.

Thanks for your inspiration and kind, constructive comments! I appreciate them. I am learning so much about photography from you Flickr members!

    "I have known Hylda for a long time...since grade school, in fact! She is a true friend and a most wonderful person. Her photography has been an inspiration to me ever since I first saw her photos of beautiful tulip fields and great architectural shots, and now her creative uses of Photoshop. She has encouraged me to improve my photography--first by introducing me to the wonderful world of Flickr, then by giving me helpful critiques. Thanks, Hylda, you are the best!"

    "Hylda lives in a country famous for windmills and tulips... The Netherlands. She takes wonderful photos of not only them but so many other wonderful places there. I enjoy seeing her photos of the people dressed in their beautiful and detailed costumes from Holland.
    She is a very sweet person who takes great pride in her love of her beautiful family.
    I am so happy to have her as a close friend,
    Thank you very much for your true friendship dear Hylda!!!!"

    "Hylda has been a good friend of my mother since High School. I've only met her a few times, when she's come back to the states to visit friends and family, but her good natured heart, extordinary intellect, and amazing ability to balance family, work, and her photography hoobie never fail to amaze me. Being a shy person, I haven't taken the opportunities presented to me to get to know her as more than a "mom's friend", but I hope very much to change that, to make her a "my friend" and "one of the family" (the good kind =P), like everyone should have the chance to. She truely is one of Earth's angels. Love ya, Hylda!~"

    "I've been a friend of Hylda H and her family for the longest time. I call her Lady H for a reason, because Hylda is truly a lady and a friend in every sense of the word. She is a very sophisticated and educated person, talented, creative and fun. I never heard a word from her that was rude or untrue. I still can't get over the fact that she thought herself to speak perfect Dutch in three months time after her arrival in Holland. Her home is one that's vibrantly alive with laughter, creativity and love. She's a kind person and takes that with her wherever she goes. You can see it in her photos. She displays a keen interest in her surroundings and the people she meets. It's a gentle soul at work behind her camera, but one who observes with wit and intelligence, that always puts a smile on my face. Taking pictures is just one of Hylda's many talents, accumulating into the general talent of the art of living. If you take time to look at Hylda's photos, you'll probably will experience that time and place take on a different kind of meaning. Like living in a dream where life's pressing matters matter not."
