I live in Lake County in Northeast Ohio, USA near Lake Erie.

I have a 9 year old grandson and a 5 year old granddaughter. They are the greatest kids in the world and light up my life. They are the reason I was given a Nikon D50 as a Christmas gift. I was missing so many great photos waiting for my point and shoot camera to be ready for the next photo. That was when I got the photography bug and now take all kinds of photos for fun.

I am a complete amateur when it comes to photography but I am learning so much from all my wonderful Flickr friends and your photos. I do not use PhotoShop or any software like that. My photos are straight out of my camera with possibly some tweaking of the brightness or contrast.

We have a boat, a canoe, an inflatable boat, a travel trailer and a cabin in the Allegheny Forest in Pennsylvania.

About my contacts:
Thank you for making me a contact. If I do not reciprocate it has nothing to do with you or your photos, it is because I don’t feel I can not keep up if I have too many contacts. I believe if I have a contact that I should comment on your photos when you post and that my contacts should comment on my posts as well. I rarely post more than one photo a day and I will comment on at least one of your photos if you post more than one a day. If I have time I will comment on more than one so please do not be offended if I don’t comment on every photo.

Please do not use my photos without my permission.

Her astonishing photos deserves recognition. Thank you for sharing your skills and abilities you exhibit in photography. I am glad to have you as a friend, your comments and visits are much appreciated."

    "I would like to start by saying.. Pam and I have many things in common. We both have, long cold winters, spring time when everything seems to come back to life, warm summers on the water, and glorious explosions of color the fall season gives to us. I always enjoy the beautiful images Pam so graciously shares of the beauty that surrounds her. I am honored to have such a wonderful friend. Thank you Pam :))"

    "Pam and I have been contacts for quite some time. I consider Her to be My Friend and Mentor. I have learned a great deal from Pam. She has graciously and honestly answered any questions in a most helpful manner.

    Much that I have learned from Pam is from following Her example. Especially about being a good contact. I don't think Pam has ever missed commenting on one of My photographs.

    Her photography has and continues to inspire Me. She has a wonderful talent of seeing great photographs that others would miss. If there has been any improvement in My photography, it is largely due to viewing Pam's works and the inspiration I gain from them.

    I am happy and thankful to call Her My Unmet Friend.

    Noble"

    "I've been admiring Pam's photos for more than a year, and when I go back through her photostream, they are as fresh and timeless as ever.

    I remember when the Explore people started noticing her work and giving it the respect it deserves. I remember last winter when she found she could saturate the photo's colors with camera settings, and then her shots really demanded attention. Her photos speak for themselves and speak well of her abilities as a photographer.

    Pam, I am proud to have you as a Flickr friend, and I am forever inspired and awed by your photos and your great personality. Thanks for sharing your life and photographic talent with all of us."

    "There is something magical in Pamela's photos. A cursory first look is usually not sufficient. The simple may be complex. The cold may hide warmth. You've got to look a second time to be sure. Sometimes you cannot put a finger on how she has done it but her work is captivating.

    As testament to her popularity consider that as of this writing she has been posting on Flickr for 64 weeks. 65 of her photos have been or currently are in "Explore". She nails down an average of over 1
    a week and even gets two on some days. I don't know who keeps the stats but that has got to be a of record, especially for a self-professed amateur.

    Pam is always there with a comment for pictures that catch her fancy and demurely silent on those she feels are best left alone! On the flip side of that coin, she always seems to find time to thank everyone for their comments on her pictures. I want to thank you, Pam, for every comment you have given me! Thank you for your inspiration and ideas."

    "Pam is a wonderful photographer and human being who never ceases to delight us with her pictures of her travels. Pam was also one of my first contacts that I made in Flickr and she was indeed an excellent choice as she has stuck with me through thick and thin. Never failing to leave a comment or invite, she never fails to bring a smile to my face."
