Spring countdown banner

such a pleasure to meet so many fine folks on Flickr
I am having a hard time keeping up with all their photos - and reluctant to add new contacts.
Don't be discouraged if you add me as a friend, and I don't add you onto my list.
When someone adds me as a friend, and comments on my photos - I will look at your photos and comment.
I truly appreciate the addition to your list.

I am also having a hard time keeping up with group invites.
I won't add to groups that require 3 or 5 comments,
it just takes up so much time...
(just not been adding photos to groups lately)
...when I comment in a group pool - I never just leave the comment code and run off to the next photo.
I always say a little something - as to why I like the photo.
and
I very much dislike distracting ''glitter graphics''

I've noticed shamless self-promotion in comments, such as see my photos with Flickr River... "comment me" ...
no comment on the photo, just see my pics.
any comments left under my photos such as these will be deleted.

and spammers, phishers buzz off ... the Flickr support team has deleted 5 no, now 7 accounts from me reporting those that promote spam, phishing ..
(or promoting their sales page website) in my comments,
some have even been bold enough to send via Flickr mail.
you will be reported .. or zapped with lightning

Photo thieves beware, your page could look like this.


truly, just ask - I'm willing to share.
there have been a few to claim my photos to be their own.
like, whats up with that?
Take your own photos - not other peoples photos

Hello to those who take the time to view my profile. :))

I have so enjoyed the Flickr experience, and thanks to those that take the time to view and comment on my photos. Always nice to know that others appreciate the beauty I find.
My photos are mainly nature and animal shots.
I take many of photos of our cats and wolf dog.
Love nothing more than being outside next to a stream in the forest.
our Kachina... one of my favorite photos of our girl.

Up close...

"We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we have deliberately and mistakenly perceived it to be.. the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer.. which is, in reality no more than a reflexed image of ourself.
~Farley Mowat

Several have asked about our wolf dog Kachina.
see the Wolf Love set for more details.

thanks to everyone here - for sharing in the beauty of Kachina.
I wish you all could meet her in person - but, she would be so shy and run upstairs to her recliner chair! :)

Kachina, and the wolf dogs of the past - have graced our lives with unconditional love.

a quote from my Flickr friend Connie,
"Just wonderful, amazing how animals can get on together, we humans could learn a lot from them. :)) "

so true Connie!

Firedance on my friends list also has beautiful photos of our Kachina.

Thank you to those that have added me as a contact.
I am not into the "contest" of having a gazillion contacts, as some folks seem to do.
I only will add contacts that truly wish to see and comment on my photos ~ as a Flickr friend. As I also comment on my friend's photos.
I am not a post and run kind of gal :)

I have the BEST contacts... as always, thanks for your wonderful comments.

Please check out my friends/contacts, and my FAVES.
I've found so many truly inspiring photos on Flickr.

    "A perfect description of this wonderful woman and her world:

    LOVE

    Each photo is a great example, but not only that - each time I enter her world, I am transported! A glimpse of her cherished animals, nature, insects, life..... all with gentle care and generosity of spirit, love and kindness. Why can't the entire world be like her photostream??

    Susie is a great inspiration. Please take the time to get to know what she is all about by visiting her photos."

    "Susie,this is the 3rd time i come here,and just stare blankly at this white square,waiting to think of great things to say about you...but i can never find any words good enough to describe how good of a friend you are...you are definitely different than all my other Flickr contacts. your genuine friendship has become quite an importance to me.you're original,funny,very interesting,intelligent and beautiful.
    i always find it important (and fun) to read what you write about your wonderful and interesting photos.
    actually,i think i'm due for a visit. :)
    your friendship is very precious.
    and don't you forget it.

    "Susie my Kindred Sister! I am so slow in getting things done that should have been done ages ago...like this testimonial! If I get any slower I'll catch up to my ass and pass it!! I am sorry for beind so late!
    I love to see your photos, always as diverse as you are! I love to hear your comments on mine, as they most of the time make me laugh or make my heart swell! Sometime my head too!
    I am so glad that God brought us together to share all that we do, on Flickr and in life. I am in awe of your photos and your love of nature.
    Love You Girlfriend!
    Kathy"

    "Susie is a wonderful woman; spiritually in touch with the nature in her world. She is loved by her wolfdogs, cats, and many other creatures that
    she meets, including me. We share a rare and special connection in that we both are keepers of wonderful wolfdogs, and have learned about
    seeing the wild world as precious and definitely worth cherishing. I am
    grateful for the support and friendship of this amazing and unique person."

    "Sometimes The Cheeser whelms me with her exuberant good vibes. Other times I'm Overwhelmed. At all times the spirit of all that was good about the good old days that has endured till today is in Susie's heart and art. How could it not be so with the guileless childlike wonder I have come to know admire and love.
    O.K. Susie can I have a lollie now?"

    "Susie is a lover of the good things in life, her photographs reflect her love for animals, (Wolves), and all aspects of nature.. Her talent as an artist is evident in all her wonderful sensative photographs. I have only know Susie for a short time, and I treasure the new friendship and her views on life. She is a special person who is sharing a beautiful part of life on Flickr.. I am honored to know her.."
