Ginger_Blue's photostream
|
I joined Flickr because I loved the artwork that I saw people producing. I wanted to fill my life with creativity and make every day an expression of my inner soul. Soon afterward, I found the 365 Days project. That changed my life. Forever.
I found that I'm okay. That everyone else is pretty much like me down inside and that I don't have some fatal flaw of horribleness. I found that I can express many sides of myself and still be me. I can be silly, sexy, wild, sad, angry, lazy a still be yet another person tomorrow.
But the best thing I found on Flickr was the love of my life. I wasn't looking. But I saw his pictures on 365 and was intrigued. We started emailing. Then chatting, then talking on the phone. We met in person on August 11, 2007 and found that this love we felt was indeed very real, very wonderful, and very permanent.
My love immigrated from England and we live a boring little life of pure happiness. We got married and are living happily ever after. Yes, fairy tales really do come true.
As for the standard bio information, well, let's see. I'm in the mothering stage of life and share the phone and bandwidth with three kids aged 18, 16, and 12. They're good kids and they make us laugh a lot. We're the dorky family that holds up the school line because the kids are still talking to me and making me laugh as push them out of the car in the mornings. We have four ridiculous cats. We do a lot of things because we want to.
Starting in May 2010, we got bitten by the outdoors bug. We've spent every spare minute camping and hiking and kayaking, much to the kids' dismay. We have big goals and are going to be the embarrassing old people going to all the local backpacking events. Luckily we live where there are hundreds of miles of trails and tens of thousands of acres of wilderness to explore. And we aim to do it.
I'm Female and Married to the wonderful Gary.

"Ginger is someone who I have followed on Flickr for many years. I feel it's about time I gave her the testimonial that's overdue.
At times her photos have been heart rendering, others have been so fun, all have been honest. She leaves herself open and shows what's happening, not many others do that.
I'm proud to have her as a personal friend, to have shown her and Gary around Durham a few years ago and then hosted them in Darlington this year. What a great pleasure - come back soon :o)"21st November, 2011

"What can I say about Ginger? She's simply the best!
She's friendly, encouraging and inspiring. Someone you want to have in your corner.
I can't look at anything BLUE without thinking of her and often take pics in tribute to her appreciation of the color.
I'm very lucky to have her as a Flickr friend."22nd November, 2007

"I love looking at Ginger's photo's as they are always true to life, she doesn't hide anything which I admire. I would love to meet her in real life too, she was the one that inspired me to start the 365 days project and I'm grateful for that too. I feel I'm glad to be a part of her life in some way even if it is through the world of flickr. I look forward to seeing more of her photo's and hope all her dreams come true. xx"

"What a nice lady! I've been commenting back and forth with Ginger Blue for a short while now and I've really enjoyed getting to know her just a little better. I expect to see lots of interesting photographic growth this year. She's purty too!"
