I AM MY STREAM!

So if you want to know just a little about who I am look at my stream from the beginning to the present. It can get a bit bizarr at times, but then so can I.

Main thing, wanted to clear that up, and wanted to enterject that it has been an experience like non other's in sixty some years, and I have had a few.


'First I must say that this is so much fun for me And when you stop by with your visits I have a smile on my face for the rest of the day! I feel like Sally Fields at the Academy Awards when she won her Oscar and said; I ";You like me, you really, really like me!" meaning my work of course.

Let's be honest, yes we love photography, and we have a passion for it most of us, and some of us are REALLY PROFESSIONAL!!! I AM NOT!! i DO THIS FOR FUN! And if fills a passion I have discovered at the mature age of well let's just say, my middle sixties.

But why do we put our photos on Flickr, because we want acknowledgement, and praise from our fellow lovers of art and photography, and we want to see our photo/art displayed and we do whether we say we don't , we do love those silly ol flashing and smooching lips, and all that award stuff. It's human nature, and we are all smart enough to know this. So let's support one another, and make this as much fun as we possiably can, without loosing some great photograpers. Don't let it happen!

I want to thank everyone family friends and especially
those who dont' know me for taking their time to go into Flickr and recommend it to others . I love the friend who turned me on to this program and am eternally grateful to him.

Oh Just because it say's Pro, for sure doesn't mean I am one,for sure I am NOT, someone just bought that for me so I could have more space because I have become such a fanatic about this picture taking and Flickr thing. So when you see Pro up there please don't take that at all seriously!

By the way I want to thank the pro's who have picked some of my pictures as their favorites, and recognized my efforts and encouraged my newness, they know who they are, and my gratitude and appreciation is not loss every time I take another picture, or see a new possiable subject, my thought, do travel to what will they think of this one! Thanks guys and gals!! For viewing my photos, and all your structured and flattering comments, are most apreciated!

If you are interested in purchasing any of my photo's feel free to contact me thru Flickr mail. Prints of All sizes.

It gives me great pleasure to say that she has been improving day by day and has blossomed into an excellent photographer. I have no doubt that before long she will rank among the best not only on flickr but in the world.!!
    She has an artist's eye for beauty and detail. Further she is a wonderful human being with fine manners and cheerful disposition. She makes one happy with her presence on flickr with her pictures and comments. She has obviously been brought up very well and with values by her parents.!!!!!!
    I wish her well in life and her hobby of photography. I look forward to her future photographic masterpieces with great interest."

    "People think blood is thicker than water, that your birth mother
    is the one that is truly your mother throughout the duration of your
    lifetime.

    That is false, any woman can give birth and become a mother.
    It takes a very special woman to nurture and love a child. There are
    adult children that play reverse roles and become the parent of their
    own parents. Healthy relationships are based upon trust, love, and
    acceptance.

    My mother spent most of her life raising my sister and brother.
    I was left to fend for myself. I was the one who was abandoned.
    When my mother died, billie was there to love me and care for me
    in a way that my own mother never could. No one in physical form
    can ever replace my mother Mona, but billie has. She became my spiritual
    mother. This is a kindred spirit, a bond unbreakable and so full of love.

    I can not imagine any other person filling my own mother's shoes
    but billie. There is no other person qualified but billie to enter my private
    life and know me on a personal level. She knows me inside and
    out and I love her more than I knew possible.

    I am here for billie today, tomorrow, 24/7/365, and forever because
    I love her and she is now my mother. She is my mamma billie.
    I promise to share her because she is so loved unconditionally.

    I love you with all my heart and soul. Your daughter in Hawaii,
    Moanalani Ke`alohilani Roquette :)

    "billie is one of the kindest, most considerate people I've had the honour of meeting on Flickr. But for someone of billie's creativity, that couldn't possibly be enough! She's also one of the most original and intriguing artists I've ever encountered on Flickr. She takes every day events and turns them into extraordinary images, shifting colours and adding patterns and textures until she creates a piece that makes you stop and look twice and see the event entirely differently. Then around the image she spins the story of how she found it, what was happening, why she treated it the way she did, and generally turning what's a photo into an event and a piece of artwork.

    Like all great artists, billie's art is about herself, and about the journey she is on. I think it's an honour to be able to join in that journey with her. You who are reading this testimony would be wise to do so too.

    Luv ya billie!"

    "Even if you haven't met someone face-to-face... still, they can find their way into your heart when you get a glimpse of who they are, and how they embrace life, family, faith and friendships. She’s certainly done that with me, no doubt about it. A friendship without borders! :-)

    Light-spirited, yet also so very soulful, her beautifully unique and vibrant work speaks volumes for where her heart is at that exact moment. You’ll quickly feel the joyful buoyancy that she freely shares in abundant generosity.

    She is LIVING life, and following the whispers of the wind... so gracious, spontaneous – and sincere. Sometimes introspective, sometimes playful – and always, always hopeful.

    We are blessed, Billie, that you are willing to "take us with you" whenever and wherever you go – the world through your eyes is truly a magical place – and I promise, I will continue to check in to see where you go, what you do, and take in deep breaths of the delightfully refreshing breezes you stir up! You are an INSPIRATION.

    Blessings to you always, enjoy every moment and be well, dearest Billie. xoxo"
