My background is in Training/HR and I have Degree in Psychology. I've always had a love for photography but it was only in the last few years when I purchased a DSLR that I really got the photography bug and have never looked back.

I love animals,flowers, nature, the sea, mountains, the feel of the wind in my hair and the sun on my face. I love nothing more than listening to the wind and the rain while sitting by a warm fire. I find myself out in the elements more and more since I got my camera - whereas I would normally have been snuggled up either in bed or by the fire when it was snowing or there was frost, I now find myself out in the elements with my camera. When I'm not outside I love to take still lifes especially of flowers, trying to show different angles and visions of natures natural beauty.

My contacts are a constant source of inspiration to me - I learn so much from them...ideas and techniques. However I am trying to reduce the number of my contacts to keep Flickr on a more personal level. If you find you are no longer one of my contacts please don't be offended - it is probably because you seldom visited and I was using too much time commenting people who hardly ever reciprocated! It is not meant as a personal insult. If I add a new contact another one has to go and I review my contacts list quite often. I struggle to keep up with the contacts I have but I make an effort to visit each day. Please don't make me a contact if you do not think you want to visit and comment my photo stream regularly!

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is strong

"I heard a bird sing, In the dark of December, A Magical thing And sweet to remember.
Sunshine through my window. Thats what you are!

“Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.”

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.


We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

Ladybugs all dressed in red , Strolling through the flowerbed, If I were tiny just like you, I'd creep among the flowers too!

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange.”

A lovely horse is always an experience.... It is an emotional experience of the kind that is spoiled by words

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it"

“Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough.

“The miracles of nature do not seem miracles because they are so common. If no one had ever seen a flower, even a dandelion would be the most startling event in the world.”

“Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose From out night's gray and cloudy sheath; Softly and still it grows and grows, Petal by petal, leaf by leaf.”

Hope is a thing with feathers, that perches in the soul

In friendship's fragrant garden,

“Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It's a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you're hurt.”

Have you ever seen a flower down

Flowers always make people better and happier; they are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun, And find your shoulders to light on, To bring you luck, happiness and riches. Today, tomorrow and beyond!


A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.

    "This testimonial is way overdue! I was browsing through some of my old photos and I see Kay's comments and faves. I said to myself, wow she's so nice and supportive!

    When I think of Kay, the beautiful image of her smile and her lovely cat came to mind. Her photos help me see outside of my eyes. She has a diverse set of photos from wonderful horses to gorgeous flowers; from a swan on a calm lake to pleasant vintage photos. She’s such a great photographer. It is nice people like Kay that keep me motivated here on flickr to keep going! Again, Kay, thank you so much for your support!! Keep up with your beautiful photography! xo"

    "All the flowers in the wood
    Are so pretty and good
    When she admires them
    She is very cleverer than
    A painter to realize
    A world out of size
    Where every flower strikes a pose
    And is accompanied by a quote
    Kay is always so wise
    With her heart open wide
    Our days she brighten
    Our hearts she sweeten"

    "I've had the pleasure of seeing Kay's work in my contact list for many months now, and can honestly say that I'm just as inspired and impressed with her artistry now as I was back then. She has a way with a camera and lens that leaves you wanting more...and spurs you on to better yourself in your own work. She is supportive, and has a kind word at the ready on any given day. I love viewing her Photostream, and am honored to count her as a contact, and a Flickr friend. Cheers, Kay! :)"
