Jay Bees Pics says:

"Bill is a truly inspirational photographer. The clarity, detail & composition of his shots are second to none & if I could one day take a shot to match his I would be a happy bunny!

He is also a valued flickr contact & always takes the time to comment on my shots even when I haven't posted anything new he will look at my older shots & find something to say for which I am forever grateful.

Keep those masterpieces coming Bill, they make my day a lot brighter!"

"Bill is one of the most generous people on flickr. He shares his travels, his view of nature, his beloved family...and most of all his comments/awards/invitations. Bill's invitations have opened new groups and contacts to me that I might have missed if not for his generosity. Thank you, Bill!"

"Bill is a good man who loves his wife and kitties. With all that love you can't get much better than that.

I found this poem on a poetry website that just says it all. It reminded me of Bill so much I just had to post it here:

by James Metcalfe ( I assume he's the person who submitted it to the poetry site)

A photograph is more than just
A gift to bring or send.
And more than just the likeness of
A relative or friend.

It is a kindly greeting and
A memory to hold.
Of happy times and pleasant things.
However new or old.

It is a mirror that reflects
Companionship and cheer.
And now and then the wistfulness
That turns into a tear.

A photograph is something to
Adorn a desk or wall.
Or carry in a pocket and
Display to one and all.

It is a faithful portrait
The smile that friendship shares
To add its sunshine and to show
That someone really cares."

"I first noticed Bill through some of his shots featuring his beloved cats and this fellow cat lover wanted to know more. I went to check his photostream and liked what i saw.......Bill is a very talented photographer who has a passion for photography. He is very charming, amusing, caring and always leaves me comments no matter what.......something i highly regard. I always do the same for him too. Bill is a highly travelled person along with his wife, Mavis, and i throughly enjoy looking at the places where he has travelled.

I'm also most envious of the birds that visit him in his wonderful garden.

Bill is a pure joy and i'm happy that he's my friend.

You rock, Bill!!!"
