Karen.b's photostream |
Hello Flickr Friends,
I enjoy photographing the beauty of nature and wildlife most often and love using my macro lens.
Due to a busy lifestyle of full time work and volunteering on a board which advocates for children with special needs and their families, I only post photos occasionally but enjoy seeing the work of others.
Your Aura is Blue
Spiritual and calm, you tend to live a quiet but enriching life.
You are very giving of yourself. And it's hard for you to let go of relationships.
The purpose of your life: showing love to other people
Famous blues include: Angelina Jolie, the Dali Lama, Oprah
Careers for you to try: Psychic, Peace Corps Volunteer, Counselor
What Color Is Your Aura?
You Are A Lily
You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.
What Flower Are You?

"Interestingest"
If you really looking for real

""A thing of beauty is a joy forever" said once by the Romantic poet John Keats.
A poet describes the world with words, and artist can copy the world with paints, but a true photographer transforms the world simply with her delicate eye for detail and and her creative soul. Karen takes time to transform the world with her wonderful photos.
Thanks for being my friend and inspiration :-)"5th October, 2007
