Laramie_Coyote's photostream
|
At this stage in my life, I enjoy simpler things. I love taking photos. Especially wildlife and nature. I adore canines, wild or domestic. We currently have 4 dogs, all of them but one are rescues. Roman died very suddenly at the age of 3 on Feb 12, 2009. Visit Roman's In Loving Memory page.
My family is the most important thing in my life. My husband, Joe, is my best friend. I cannot begin to say all of the joy and happiness he has brought in to my life. We have two daughters (one son-in-law), and a beautiful granddaughter. Joe shamelessly indulges my photographic hobby. Including my time on Flickr!
I have started up a little group of my own on Flickr. It is called Coyote's Cache of Collectibles . Invitation only to those photos I have chosen to favorite and remember. I find the Favorites block in Flickr hard to see and this will allow me to browse more easily through those great photos I have found.
If I invite your photo, there is absolutely no obligation for your to browse, comment, or award anything in my pool. It's for me. Though if you want to know what moves me... feel free. I am also going to store snippets of information I have learned about using Flickr along the way.
I have a couple blogs I would like to point out, for those of you are who may be interested.
Some of my Flickr Favorites
Raising Canines: Socialized and Domestic
For the socialized
For the domestic
Of course I have videos! Coyote videos. Go figure!?! Feel free to visit and then check out some of my favorites.. though you will find them mostly to be on animals.

Reflecting on Flickr: I have met some of the most fascinating people here on Flickr. People with whom I am proud to have forged friendships that span this internet, indeed the world. The advice, guidance, caring and friendship are all things I had not expected in the least. Flickr is quite a community! I am VERY proud to be counted in the Flickr membership.
And let's get this out of the way now. Laramie Coyote is REALLY my name!
Like many of you, I have recently found myself overwhelmed with the sheer number of groups. I have become involved with several groups as an administrator or moderator as well. And then there is work on my own photostream.
Taking the advice of several friends I have come to know and respect here, I have sat down... analyzed the groups and made my selections. As the majority of my photos fall within a couple categories... some of the choices were easy. Others were not.
While I greatly enjoy your comments and invitations, please do not be offended if I choose not to join another group. I am more than happy to just have you visit and leave a comment or greeting.
Please do not be offended if I do not reciprocate you as a contact. Again, I enjoy and appreciate your comments on my photos. I can already see where time demands (those of the real world) will hinder all that I would love to do here on Flickr.
It is past time I make an admission. Just so that I am no longer in "denial". I have COPD. I left the hospital in October, 2009 on oxygen. My Pulmonary Rehab was interrupted three times in 2010. I really am doing the best I can here... and at home. But sometimes, I can't breathe well.. and I visit the hospital for a few days. Joanne and my daughter have both been godsends. But if we fall a little behind.. please be patient. It's most likely because I can't devote the time I usually do here on Flickr. And just as soon as I can.. I will be back in full force. There. I've said. I have accepted my situation. Now I need you all to accept my situation. :)

"When I think of kindness, integrity, and caring demonstrated on the flickr domain ………….I inadvertently think of Laramie ………..always there with a comment, kind, supportive, and patient,……………… especially with yours truly.
We started out arguing and I still laugh at that………. but she brings so much to the flickr domain and she is so helpful to many with her interperativness......... and desire to succeed in making the flickr experience for so many such a great experience…..she’s like an ambassador who gets paid nothing except the knowledge that she helps people .a hero behind the scenes as she cares so much ………. and flickr is so important to her as it obviously shows in how involved she is with so many people.
Its funny I haven’t even touched on how beautifully she is capable of taking a picture ….she is very good …her greatest strength is gauging photography and judging correctness ……which most photographers lack in understanding what works (especially on flickr)……. her strength which compels me to write this……. and what is so recognizable ..is her class and the amount of time she spends trying to make things easy for others ……….with the sincerity she bestows to people who are lucky enough to be her friend…………..Your a very gracious and wonderful human being and I appreciate as do many hundreds that you throw yourself into the flickr Arena 100% to make the flickr experience so great for all those that you deal with ……..very unselfish, and very gracious to many that you will only ever really know through a computer screen.
I am Shocked !!!!!!!!.......................that this is only your 2nd testimonial ………….flickr sometimes only recognizes the obvious not the people that make such a difference………….My testimonial to you Laramie, has to do with being a really good person…..and being a major component in making the flickr expierience so wonderfful................Merry Christmas and you ………..You should put this letter on E- Bay as I didn’t use one present participle to get through it lolololololololo…………All the best to you and yours ……………Howard : )"19th December, 2010

"Dear Grand Loup
Flickr has allowed me to become acquainted with many men and women of all backgrounds, all ages and many cultures around the world. Some have become regular contacts with whom I share my passion, photography. For more and more of the picture, I share a more important due to our affinity. This became friends with whom I have great pleasure to share heartfelt emotions. Laramie, in fact party! There are my one of my most loyal friends in Flickr. I appreciate it a lot because he has a heart as big as a mountain. Unfortunately I can not always available, but I always a great pleasure to find it. Another big thank you "Big Wolf" for all your support and your loyalty.
Your friend André
Cher Grand Loup,
Flickr m'a permis de faire connaissance avec beaucoup d'hommes et de femmes de tous milieux, de tous âges et de multiples cultures dans le monde entier. Certains sont devenus des contacts réguliers avec qui je partage ma passion, la photo. Pour d'autres en plus de la photo, je partage une relation plus importante grâce à nos affinités. Cela sont devenus des amis avec qui j'ai un très grand plaisir d'échanger des émotions sincères. Laramie, en fait parti !!! Il es pour moi l'un de mes plus fidèles amis chez Flickr. Je l'apprécie beaucoup car il a un coeur gros comme une montagne. Je ne suis malheureusement pas toujours disponible, mais j'ai toujours un grand plaisir à le retrouver. Encore un grand merci " Grand Loup " pour toute ton aide et ta fidélité.
Ton ami André"8th March, 2009
