  "This testimonial is long overdue, probably because Carol called me a frog licker (which to set the matter straight is NOT true!). Regardless, she is a dear friend & an amazingly talented artist . Thanks for sharing your eye, mind, & heart Carol!
  You are the best!"

  "Big Grey Mare was one of my first friends on Flickr. In her photography, she has a way of making the ordinary seem rather extraordinary and of getting something out of people that makes her portraiture fascinating. She uses great processing techniques that transform her photos into art. I enjoy her work and look forward to her posts. And . . .she always has something positive to say about the work of others."

  "I just love what BGM does with old buildings. And her imaginative and artistic special effects. I am a digital photographer/Photoshop newbie and this is one of the streams I watch for inspiration and education. (That and I love Arabians, too.)"

  "I'm totally amazed at how artistic this lady is, apparently without knowing it. She has that 'feel' for nature, animals and asthetics that's enviable. Please don't stop creating. You do it so naturally!"

  "Carol has been one of my very first contacts on Flickr...and I`m happy to say that our friendship, albeit virtual, has been growing in intensity and closeness with time. She`s a wonderful friend and a wonderful photographer...and her example has been precious to me, both as a photographer and as a human being, because she has the amazing gift of being able to communicate and relate to nature, an experience I have seldom had and never acquired. But the most fascinating thing about her is that, although she`s a very creative and imaginative artist...she doesn`t know it!!! I do believe that this kind of intellectual and artistic humbleness is the ultimate proof of an artist`s accomplishment."

  "Carol appears in my opinion to capture the heart of whatever she is viewing. She captures an essence that speaks to you. You want to reach out and experience what you see. Kind of like eye candy-one piece is never enough..
  
  Thanks Carol-your efforts inspire and touch the very part of me that makes me human!!"

  "As a young Arabian horse enthusiast, Carol (BGM) has taught me so much. She has shared so many wonderful stories with me of her adventures with her horses. She is a wonderful and caring friend.

  "BG..This is to testify to the truth, beauty and wisdom in you...He flows out of you like a river and I was bathed in that river today, and I expect i will be again on another day when I am falling under the weight of a burden and share that fact with you. I love the simplicity and un-pretentious quality of your photography..It's clear we have alot of the same memories, or you're discovering things I had in my past..because your pictures take me back to good things and happy times in my grandparents' home. Life with them was safe, secure, warm and comfy and I love seeing your windows to that happy past.
  
  You have truly ministered to me today and I'm sure many others in the past as well. I am thankful to call you my friend, but even more thankful that you would call me one of yours.
  
  He IS wonderful!!!!
  
  JW"

  "I have known Big Grey on Flickr for a little while now. She is a lovely person with a fantastic sense of humour and always has a thoughtful or insightful comment to make. Her images are great and lovely to view. She has her own unique style that shows us the world around her and as she sees it! I love keeping up with Big Grey's stream, not knowing where the next day is going to take me! Love it all!"
