All my photographs are copyrighted and using them for any purpose is not allowed. You are welcome to ask for permission and it may be granted, depending upon the reason for usage.

I've just started to edit some contacts as I prefer those with reciprocal interaction. While I have enjoyed the photos of many and comment on their work, when there is no mutual sharing, there is no reason to stay on a contact list. I'd rather add people with mutual interest and communication. IF YOU HAVE VERY FEW PHOTOS AND OVER 500 CONTACTS, DON'T MARK ME AS A CONTACT, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. Please read this as I am blocking many who don't read....

Please no glitter or high graphic comments, hard on the eyes.. Love invites but I don't have time to comment (automatically) to over three requests. Please don't request I join any group that is militant or requires over 3 comments. I understand "Sweepers" but I also dislike the process.. I perfer to be sponteneous and leave personal comments on images when I understand and can communicate in the same language.

My background:
In my youth, I was the subject of cameras, and opted later to be the photographer, using Canon and Mamiya film cameras, I've been lucky enough to be able to take my vocation and travel needs to great places, meet wonderful people and spend time with animals.. My re-introduction to photography after years of only using cameras to document my work, allows me to use a huge canvas for new images.

Adventurous and a lover of life describes somethings about me. . I am learning to take a camera or two everywhere I go. I love nature, most creatures, and appreciate the unique and unusual people and things that I come across.
While my business is that of an appraiser of collector cars, placing vehicles in films and commercials and a DMV title consultants, my passion is animals, nature and music..
Flickr is a delightful community and I am always enchanted with the photos and ideas I see.
I am constantly amazed with some of the fantastic images I see and hope to see more.


You are the World
Completion, Good Reward.
The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

    "Rhonda is a very generous person, obviously an animal lover who shows us many amazing photos of her beautiful GSD 'Roma's' friends.
    Also, Rhonda is a wonderful photographer of nature, flower and plant life and all of its manifestations. I always look forward to reading her comments on my own photos as they are insightful and generous too!"

    "In the few short months of being on Flickr I have gone from thinking of myself as a decent sports photojournalist and little else to experimenting with many other possibilities of lens & body. No one has been more influential and encouraging in my progression than Rhonda. Her confidence building comments have been exactly what I've needed to push the boundaries of creativity.
    Her fine photographs have been my guiding light.
    Her warmth is obvious in her photos of her splendid and eager pet, Roma.
    Her honesty is refreshing and her friendship is cherished.
    Thanks Rhondalala, for all this and whatever you may offer in the future. You are a Dear Friend."

    "Rhonda is one of my most favorite people on Flickr and this testimonial is way overdue! She is such a warm, friendly and genuinely caring person. Her love of animals emphasizes her wonderful, giving nature and I consider myself very blessed to have Rhonda's friendship.

    She is a very keen photographer, always ready with camera on hand to capture a beautiful moment and I love to see her world through her eyes. Her drive by scenic pics are so beautiful, her animal pics are adorable and her flowers are gorgeous. Rhonda sees beauty in so many things and is so modest about her wonderful ability as a photographer.

    Rhonda, thank you so much for being such an awesome, sincere friend and for always boosting my confidence and encouraging me to do better with your lovely, inspiring comments. I really do appreciate you more than I can say."

    "I am blessed to have a Rhonda as a friend, not "just a contact", by any means.

    I so love your views on life, your passion for animals is apparent in your photos.
    Always amazed by your show of detail in those beautiful California blooms,
    the crazy drive by shootings of wonderful skies :)
    sharing beauty found in your travels, and I love those vintage automobiles.
    You seem to capture the very soul of Roma in photographs - the most beautiful long-haired German Shepherd dog I have ever seen!
    When seeing Rhonda's photos, you feel as if you've been there.
    I treasure your friendship - always happy to see new photos posted.
    Thank you for being my friend also - no... more like my West Coast sister!"
