Thank you to all who are looking at and enjoying the photos I have posted. I appreciate your comments. They are an encouragement and an inspiration to me and makes Flickr great fun. And, thank you to all for posting such creative and beautiful work. Your photos are a deep well of beautiful inspirations, each and every one of them. I draw from that well every day. I try to return comments for those left on my photo, but please forgive me if I miss once in a while.

I have enjoyed photography for many years. I like looking at things and recording a creative image. Although my aesthetic is very eclectic what attracts me the most is a very flat planer image, simple, well composed, good expression of color and a jem to look at. Participating in the Flickr comment/award groups exposes me to so many superb photos. It sharpens my eye to composition, color, technique, and emotion. By leaving comments on how an image affects me, I find that it makes me look closer and deeper at images.

Thanks again for visiting. Hope our photostreams cross out there.
