*Gracie's photostream
|
I’m an art lover and believe one of the most important factors in capturing memorable images is the passion found within the photographer. If you have the desire and determination, the rest will follow naturally. It’s rewarding for me to capture nature shots of any kind but I especially like birds and flowers.
Thanks for stopping by - you’ll find an assortment depending on my mood, of course. Feel free to offer any suggestions.

*Nico says:
""Gracie" is a wonderful photographer, and also an AMAZING person, as all of these testimonials profess. I am really proud of her photography. I was looking through all of it tonight, including her "most interesting" slide show, and I have to say I am blown away. I can't get over how clear the pics are, and how creative the subjects and angles.
I truly am impressed Gracie, and look forward to seeing you and more of your work! Love you."13th November, 2008

"As a photographer, Gracie is among the very best. Her photostream is varied, colourful, and always inspiring.
As a person, she is a rare gem. Gracie brings out the best in life through her positive perspective, great sense of humour, and love of the world around her. Her genuine kindness, warmth, and consideration flow spontaneously in her comments, and she has a way of making you feel like you're best of friends. I consider it a real privilege to be one of her contacts, and I encourage you to have a look at her photostream. It will brighten your day!

FLS Gallery says:
"Gracie, Gracie Gracie....An excellent budding photographer that I met on Flickr maybe close to two years or more ago. A woman with a bubbly personality, very witty and of course sometimes very humorous. I love her work and her southern charm. We keep late hours together on here and she knows usually how to make me smile. Many times she has teased me about finding new toys and implementing them, lol....Yet she finds some great toys to fool with also. I am pleased and more than happy to say she is my contact and even more a wonderful Flickr friend...Gracie my hat's off to you, I love the comments you leave on my stream, I hope you never stop leaving them my friend....Yes she is truly my friend, best wishes for health , happiness and joy in the future as well as the present....I look forward to having a lot more time sharing photo's with you !
God Bless my wonderful friend Gracie !"14th June, 2008

What a wonderful person to have as a friend, her polite and gracious comments always are welcomed, her beautiful captures are to be treasured for sure, it does not take long to fall in love with her captures,
Once you go thru her photo stream you will agree.
Thanks Gracie for being a wonderful friend!

Rebel XT Shots / Bobbie says:
"Gracie is an excellent photographer. She always gets that perfect shot. Every post is exciting. Gracie has a special talent when it comes to nature shots. The birds pose, the light shines in the right spot on plants and flowers. I love to see her work posted because it is always professional and delightful. No wonder Gracie has so many fans that visit daily.
I am glad that Gracie is one of my friends here at Flickr. Her kind comments and encouragement are very much appreciated. She always takes time to view my post for the day. My good fortune was finding Gracie as a contact (or did she find me, I can't remember).
Gracie's work is outstanding, and this site is filled with wonderful examples. Truly she is "amazing Gracie"."6th August, 2007

"Gracie if one of the best flower photographers on flickr. What makes her photos stand out from others is that she uses natural light to bring out the beauty. I have pretty much told that in every photo of hers, but it is always a pleasure to say that again :)
Take time to view her photos and you will know what I mean. Oh, dont forget her bird shots, and the title that goes with them :)
She is a wonderful person and a great flickr friend. I am glad to have found her through flickr!"10th June, 2007

""He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much" -Bessie Anderson Stanley.
I would use this quote about Gracie and put "She". The words of this quote describe what Gracie brings through her photographs and her joy of life and the gift of bringing the good out of everyone. Her flower and nature photos are an inspiration to me! Her graceful and artistic camera eye show up in her photography. To recently meet her on flickr I feel as if I have known her a lifetime. Truly a giving spirit and always considerate of others. It is always a pleasure to visit her photo stream on flickr!"4th April, 2007

outnbout says:
"Gracie's best kept secret is that she is a direct descendant of Mother Nature! That is the only possible explanation for her outstanding talent when it comes to taking nature shots. She knows how to turn every aspect of nature into a thing of beauty.
Gracie is a most generous soul and a wonderful flickr friend. I look forward to each of her posts, and most especially love when she comes to visit."3rd April, 2007

""Gracie's nature photography is so delightful because it transcends mere record shots to art. She has a great compositional eye. I love her bird photography, which is one of the most difficult forms to master, and I also love her floral macro shots"
Keep up the good work."12th March, 2007

Her photographs are full of stupendous beauty and charm of form, composition, expression and perspective. Soft enchanting colors dominate her photostream.
Gracie has an elegant personality, full of goodwill and thoughtfulness toward others.
