And now, about me.
First and foremost, I am an environmentalist aka tree hugger with a tremendous love and respect for Mother Nature. I am a cold weather creature, becoming active in the autumn and winter seasons. I prefer to hibernate on scorching summer days.
I am a total coffee addict. Is there a coffee drinkers anonymous group? CDA?
I find photography to be magical, freezing moments in time to share with others. My dream is to be able to photograph endangered species, in the hope that others will find them as enchanting as I do. If other people can see nature through my eyes (lens), than perhaps they too will want to protect what is rapidly disappearing.

You have great compassionate which is shown in your photostream. You love nature and all things natural and you capture them so well with your lens. Your passion for the environment and to preserve it for future generations to enjoy is expressed brilliantly in your photography and in your comments. The world needs people like Mary Anne to cry out for it preservation of it's ecology.
Your comments are always well thought out and sincere. You've been my contact here at flickr for over 8 months and in this time I feel you have become my dear friend.
Anyone reading this testimonial should make a good coffee, sit back and enjoy Gingkos photos they are awesome.
Keep up the good work Mary Anne and I can't wait to see what you will share with us next.

"Look through Ginko7's photostream and you will see why she is one of my favorite contacts.....her love of nature and animals is second to none and shines in her photography (as well as her love of coffee!!). Ginko7 is wonderful about commenting on my photos and has a great sense of humor when doing so. She has strong beliefs and will stand up for them (such as saving the wolves in Yellowstone...or the Morton Arboretum). I always know when her name pops up in my contacts that it will be fabulous! Be sure to visit her photostream, you will not be disappointed."

"Not only in Ginkgo7 one of the contacts I converse with the most, but every time I look at one of her coffee photos a serious caffeine fix overtakes me. Such is the mark of a good photographer."
