Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time – author unknown. The motto by which I live my life.

Photography is my passion! My interest lies in nature and wildlife. There are some unbelievably talented people on flickr. The generosity of other photographers who willingly share their knowledge is awesome. I have learned so much from all of my contacts.

I have been honored to have my photographs published in Nature's Best Photography Magazine and Canadian Geographic, featured on EarthShots.org as well as other publications around the world.

Let’s all help keep the earth healthy so our children and their children will be able to see animals in their natural environment, not only in a zoo or a photograph.

    "Barb is a wonderful contact and flickr friend. She is caring and respectful of all things in nature and this shows in her work. Her photography is a pleasure to view and she really captures the personality and character of her subjects. Anyone who has viewed her photostream knows this. She also takes the time to learn about her subjects which means I'm learning too.

    Barb has a great sense of humour and you can see when she comments that she takes the time to notice every detail in an image. She is an amazing photographer and I enjoy viewing her images and learning from her work.

    Keep up the good work Barb!"

    "A lover of nature and animals both great and small. Barb has a way of capturing their personalities, having fun along the way with an occasional prop. I always look forward to her next upload and am never disappointed.

    Barb is an inspiration and I learn from her photos and from her kind words and comments on mine. A wonderful Flickr friend, very supportive and I'm honoured to be considered her friend. And, yes Barb, I'm sure if we lived near one another we'd get along famously!! You could introduce me to Eleanor and Poser.

    Update April 2011: Because she's a good and thoughtful friend, because she listens to my whining, because she's answered a million and one questions, because we share the same name, because we share the same birthday, because we joined on almost the same date, because she's the Lacey (albeit a brunette, Lacey that is, we all know Barb's a redhead) to my Cagney.

    Except - darn, we've still yet to meet face to fave..."

    "Having contacts like Barb is what Flickr is all about!! Truly enjoying other peoples work and knowing they truly enjoy yours back is what matters is my opinion. Bard is a great contact! I feel very lucky to have met her here on this crazy site. I truly enjoy her photography. She has an excellent eye and works hard to add quality photography to her stream. Some of her shots are hilarious, and because of her great titles they make for a great laugh. The fact that she loves animals really shows in her work, and helps her capture them at their best.

    Keep them coming Barb!!!

    Dan"

    Bob the birdman\ Always trying to catch up says:

    "Barbaralynne is my most trusted contact. She is actually more than that and I am proud to call her my friend. I've had some personal problems at times and she has been very supportive even though it may not have anything to do with photography.

    On the photography note, Barb is an outstanding photographer. She is an avid nature lover and it shows in all her excellent nature photo's. You can see she really tries to get to know her subjects which I think is one of the most important attributes for a photographer. Barb is also frequently one of the first contacts to comment on my work and gives a lot more than the short "great shot" comment. Her comments are all very positive and helpful. I always look forward to "hearing" what she has to say about my work. I almost wrote a novel here but know I could write a lot more. I have never met Barb in person but know she is a wonderful person."
