Hi - my name is Cathy; I am an amateur photographer, doll maker, kayaker, hiker, and nature lover. I have always been interested in birds...probably because my grandparents were. I had grandparents in Cape Cod who fed many birds and hand-fed chickadees. My grandpa in Brockton had a woodsy back yard with numerous bird feeders set high up in the birch trees. My mother, who lived in Indialantic, Florida, was active in preserving scrub jay habitat. She loved butterflies. So it's just natural for me to enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of it all. I can be quite satisfied just wandering around my own yard waiting to digitally capture whatever comes along.
Since I joined Flickr, I have learned SO MUCH - about so many things. It's just a wonderful place to play and learn, and I am beginning to know some great contacts :)
I love closeup shots, and I also enjoy altering photos to produce "art." I will always let you know when I have used extra processing on a shot. My latest fun has been using Topaz Software.
Hope you enjoy getting a little closer to nature with me!
UPDATE - January 2010 - Happy New Year! Please understand if I don't reciprocate in adding you as a contact. Although I enjoy viewing everyone's work, I am just about at my limit for the number of contacts I can follow and comment on - also, I have not been participating in many groups... just a select few. Too hard to keep up!
A message to my contacts: I absolutely love viewing your photostreams and enjoy your visits and comments! If I get behind, I WILL catch up! Sometimes stuff happens and then it takes me several weeks to get back on track - you folks are a busy bunch!
PLEASE - NO INVITES TO PRIVATE GROUPS! OR GROUPS WITH RULES WHICH REQUIRE ME TO INVITE OTHERS! I CAN LIVE WITHOUT ALL THE GLITZY INVITES...THANKS!
Our website www.catbur.com has a good many of our travel photos, our genealogy, and more. My husband's Flickr is linked from there as well - he is "catbur kayaker" on Flickr.
