I love photographing flowers, particularly those growing in my garden in spring and summer. I often post images shown in my Flickr photostream at my blog. Click here to be taken there.
My contacts are important to me. I love getting to know new people and watch their photographic skills bloom and grow. It's a two-way street.

" It will soon be my first year on Flickr. Since then I have learned more about photography than all my life. That have happened simply looking and admiring the other people's work, most of them one ambition is enjoying with their own work. Like Kate.
In my opinion, she is the greatest macro flower photograph that I've never seen.
She always has such right words in the best moment for everyone. But Kate is anything more, I so glad saying: Kate is my "Canadian friend""19th February, 2009

"I think Kate is long over due for this testimonial from me. I want everyone and Kate to know how kind, thoughtful and uplifting she is. She always has such encouraging words for everyone including myself. I enjoy so much looking at her photos. I love her fun ways to, how she tells us what she uses for her back drops; black pant & scarfs. And thank you to Lytton for allowing her to rearrange the room for her lovely photo shoots. I am so glad she is a flickr friend. Love those Amaryllis shots so keep 'em coming."

"Kate is one of the most talented photographers in Flickr. Being an excellent photographer is one thing, but tending a beautiful garden of flowers and taking pictures of them is another thing. She is passionate in what she is doing as reflected in her photo stream. Her photos of different kinds of flowers in her garden is very inspiring. As a contact, she is a person who loves to give and encourage, she is also a great help in naming the flowers that I cannot identify. She is generous and sincere in all her comments, faves, and invites. Although I have not met her in person, I can feel that she is a kind soul and a beautiful person. Someone like her is truly an inspiration and Flickr is so much a beautiful site with her around! Kate, keep up the good work!"
