"Haven't had a browse through Raynah's stream for a while (or Flickr in general), but have just had a lovely look through her stream at some utterly stunning shots of wildlife, the countryside, her gorgeous nieces and more.
We've had a fantastic journey together since our first Photoaday project in 2007, and I'm so impressed she's kept the momentum up and become an absolutely top notch photographer and inspiration to all the new HPADers. Go R :D xxx"25th June, 2011

"Raynah has been an inspiration. So enthusiastic about photography and so supportive of the Flickr community. I've been particularly inspired by her use of words within photography, I totally get it! Takes it to another level. Thank you Raynah for sharing your photos with us and for being here. You rock x

"Raynah has been an inspiration to those newer to photography. Her pictures have encouraged me to get outside in the garden, using all that fabulous natural light. She has such a good eye for composition, especially with her flowers and plants. I especially love her photos with 'other people's words' - she (rightfully) shows off her literary sensibilities AND her photographic talent, in creative, amusing and thoughtful ways.
She is a steady hand at the till of the HPAD group, steering us so subtly that we barely realise that, months on, we've been on quite a journey.
Thanks Raynah."26th April, 2011

"I always look forward to seeing LG's photo of the day, especially when it's home baking! She is very creative and has been a real inspiration to me in the past 18 months. I love her perspective on life and her positive outlook. Her pictures never fail to raise my spirits, especially after a hard day at work!"

"I was thrilled to get Lumpy to tribute this time round. I love her photostream. her ability to match words with pictures is unmatched, she does it so perfectly.
She has a wonderful eye for flowers and the detail she achieves is amazing.
Lumps is also one of the kindest HPADers I know - always has the time and kind words to help someone out x"24th June, 2009

"I love Lumpy's look on life, her skill with both the camera, especially with the addition of words is a real talent.
I've loved adding my occasional photos to her "Other People's Words" group, and always draw inspiration from her knowledge of literature.
Go Lumpy, a real inspiration!"19th May, 2009

Fundingo says:
"Lumpy really is an inspiration. A warm, witty, highly intelligent and gorgeous person whose delight in the world around her is evident as is her love of the written word. Her quirky use of the perfect quote and creative use of picnik have given her a real style and I can't wait to see how her photography develops further. And she takes photos of cake, what more could you ask for?"

"I am completely in awe of Lumpy Golighty's talent for taking stunning photographs which always say so much. Her attention to detail and the considered way she sets up her shots produces a final product which is polished, professional and inspiring. I particularly love her 'with words' series - I'm amazed at how she can fit the exact text to an image and they are always so thought-provoking."

"I love looking through Lumpy Golightly's photostream. She takes wonderful photos of nature and the world around her. I particularly love her 'Other People's Words' series as she finds such wonderful words to go with her shots.
As well as that, she's a lovely lady who always has time for others, always lets you have her recipes and shares my affinity for shoes! x"13th April, 2009

"I am in awe of Lumpy who is still going strong into her third year of doing a photo a day. I love her varied photo stream but have got to make special mention to fab (and often humorous) self portraits, gorgeous flower shots and of course delicious food photos! Of late I’m loving the ‘with words’ series incorporating perfect words to accompany perfect photos, genius!"

"Lumpy's pictures show her great technical ability, but more importantly, highlight her eye for beauty, particularly in the natural world and with organic forms. Her photos often convey a dreamy or idyllic feel, and her composition is fabulous.
Of late, her ability to match photos with text quotations has taken her in new and wonderful directions. She's always generous with her comments and I've 'gotten to know' her through these as much as her photos, but her photos with matching quotations show just how much and how creatively she thinks about her shots."3rd February, 2009

fujiellena says:
"What an inspiration she is! So many cool and original ideas and her recent additions of text have been fab. I love to read the quotes-she chooses so well and they add so much to the shot. I think the 'oops upside your head' gingerbread men are my fave so far. Great sense of humour too!
I am always amazed by the amount of domestic goddess stylee baking she gets done and am often known to drool over her beautifully presented food shots :P
I look forward to the rest of your year's shots lumpy :)"1st March, 2009

The Winkle says:
"I love Lumpy's pictures. She has a real humour about her and it comes across clearly. The way she uses poetry and quotes as the basis for pictures is fantastic, and original. I always enjoy looking out for her pics - especially ones of the fantastic Penny and Dylan!"

"The lovely Lumpy has taken so many great shots during her photo a day project over the last 2 years. She has a great eye for a shot, especially self-portraits and flower macros (both of which I'm no good at!). She has a great sense of humour and this shows in her photos.
A very helpful person too. Thanks Lumpy!"22nd December, 2008

LoulaM says:
"Lumpy Golightly not only has the coolest name I know, but she also takes very cool and creative photographs. She has a lovely eye for detail even though she regularly makes me drool a little too much with her food photos! Her series of photos inspired by poems were just gorgeous.
Lumpy is a pleasure to know. She always makes such lovely, thoughtful comments and is always happy to help to help where she can. She rocks xx"21st December, 2008

"Lumpy's photostream is always worth a look. Except when you're hungry that is. She posts so many pictures of gorgeous looking food that I can only view now on a full stomach! Her self portraits are fab and I love her sometimes serious, sometimes tongue in cheek moods."

"Lumpy, we started our journies at the same time, and you have made it so much fun.
I love your photos, your self portraits are my favourite, many of them can make me smile, even on my lowest days.
You are such a beautiful individual and you capture the essence of your wonderful soul, so perfectly.
I look forward on embarking on another year, seeing your photos everyday inspires me to carry on."16th December, 2008

"Lumpy's photos reveal her intelligence, wit and enthusiasm for life. She is a dab hand at PSP and creates some really funky images. She's also a lovely person :)"
