Get Inspired
An important part of my journey as a photographer is having the opportunity to inspire others by what I do. Taking inspirational photo’s and pictures.
I held off on perusing my dream until after my kids had left home, and whilst I can’t really regret that decision, I also hope to inspire people to always go after what they want, and never delay your dreams for any reason.
I truly believe that we all have the potential to do whatever it is that makes our hearts sing, if we only listen to the wee small voice inside of us and have the courage and commitment, and most importantly, the faith, to do after all our dreams, no matter what they are.

You are so sweet <3
your photography is extraordinary!
What a lovely thing to say.. thank you
Beautiful work. Makes me wish I had stayed with it years ago.
It’s never too late friend…. I only took up photography a year ago after my children were grown up…. and I am teaching a friend of mine in her 70′s to learn computers. It’s never too late to do exactly what your heart desires.
Amen to that.
awesome thoughts and beautiful photographs.
Thanks so much
You’re welcome!
I doubt that I can add anything more than what others would be saying about your amazing talent…Thank you. Your ability to capture the moment and place of beauty is inspring. Thank you.
So nice of you to say… thank you ♥
this is so touching, your promotional video. I never know what to say, about your work,I get so entranced just looking….I love nature,insects ,frogs(, I tried to break the genius book of world records on frog catching.at 7 years old.). Do you ever have pictures of tigers, snow-lots or fields let me now you work is top of the line and I’m not a photography expert but I have seen a lot of work, through the years.

This is so touching,( your videos.) I never know what to say, about your work …,I get so entranced, just looking….I love nature, ,insects ,frogs ( I tried to break the guiness book of world records on frog catching.at 7 years old-using butterfly nets of course.). If you ever have pictures of tigers or snow-lots or fields let me now you work is top of the line and I’m not a photography expert but I have seen a lot of work, through the years..
I am so sorry I didn’t see this comment earlier. WordPress only alerts me to 9 new comments at a time and sometimes I miss some. But what lovely things you said. Thank you so much. I love frogs also and used to catch tadpoles and worms and bugs as a kid. We don’t have snow much in Australia and certainly not where I live, but I do travel to the US sometimes. We don’t really have tigers either, except in the zoo…. and I am not a big fan of zoo’s. Thanks again for your lovely comments. xxoo
beautifull site tracie, take care and God bless i shared it with tweeter and facebook
WOW… thanks so much. I left Facebook awhile back, but thinking of going back (not personally, just professionally). Much appreciated xxoo
your always welcome tracie, take care
I’m considering using one of your photos as a subject.
Really… which one? I would love to see it when it’s finished.
The parrot in your post, “being selfish” would look great.
Well… if you do use it… I hope you will send me a link so I can see it. I would be very honoured to be your inspiration
I will for sure
So inspiring, so personal, so true…
and you comment is so appreciated ♥
I just wish I was healthier.
OH Me too!!!!! Every minute of every day I wish that.
lovely photographs, so glad to discover your work!
I am so very glad to have you here. Thanks so much for the visit.
What makes your heart sing? Love
Love and Beauty and Personal Truth… is what makes my heart sing. xxoo
Same here. I can only stay sad so long, and then I’m surprised by an unexpected joy, that God sends my way to get me out of the doldrums. Media, art, poetry, music and humor does it. God uses it all, to lighten our way.
Ask and it is given!
xxoo

I love your photos… just breath-taking! Beautiful and refreshing blog.
I am so glad to have you hear
Yes, photographers document…….both nice and cruel things!
A new genre conservation photgraphie is something that I would like to try….photographing less pleasant things in the environment that make us wake up!
Sounds like a very challenging endeavour… I wish the best of luck with that. xxoo
The language of your pictures inspires, thank you for letting us listening.

Awww….. that’s so sweet… thank you xxoo
So fantastic messages….positive ones, that’s goood!!!
Tracie, I have enjoyed reading about your creative journey. You are right, – it can take time for an artist to find the medium which allows full and free expression. I am impressed by the artistry of your work. I am particularly entranced by the macro images of insects. These images display the full intricacy and beauty of these small creatures. The dragon fly and jewel beetle are my favouriites.
I am so glad you enjoyed my images…. it makes my journey all the more special to know that others get some enjoyment out of it as well. And thanks so much for taking the time to comment…. very much appreciated xxoo
Yes, I love to read your posts in the morning……
Beautiful photos Tracie Louise! I pinned several on pinterest with your web link!
Thank you so much for doing that… my son keeps telling me I need a Pinterest, but I already spend WAY too much time on the computer.
I totally agree with your philosophy above,, even if doing ” whatever it is that makes our hearts sing” it is not such an each task as it seems. Still we all should fallow our dreams and I am glad you did, because your work is not only inspirational, but is also … it is pure joy. Thank you.
I think that is because my work gives me pure joy… doing what you love, shows I guess.. thanks so much xxoo
I hope you won that contest you mentioned weeks ago… Good luck.
They are still judging it right now… just waiting to hear the results
Classy photos and a VERY classy website. Congratulations – you captured my interest (which is difficult for most).. Keep taking photos – you are very good at it.
that’s a lovely thing to say John… and very much appreciated
Thank you for sharing. Love your vision, sentiment and warmth that comes through your photographs and posts. Inspiring! Thank you.
Thanks Tracie for stopping by. Your photographs are absolutely amazing ! I am going to follow your blog. Thanks Again, kind regards/amit
You are so welcome…. and great to have you here
Tracie,
Your photography and writing do inspire me, so I’ve nominated you for the Inspiring Blog Award: http://wp.me/pxjrA-y5
That is very kind of you… thank you
You take beautiful pics! God bless you!
Thank you so much xxoo
You don’t have to thank me… I didn’t have anything to do with it! You’re so good because God made you that way, and He has blessed you! Thank God that you’re so gifted and talented. Have you ever heard of Trey Radcliffe? Your style is similar to his…and he’s very good too. He teaches people and gives tips online and has an enormous album. You’d probably love him too!
I have not heard of Trey Radcliffe… but I will google him now… thank you
oh, and x’s and o’s back at you!
I will let you in a little secret… whenever I sign off with xxoo… it stands for hugs and kisses of course… but I do 2 x’s and 2 o’s… because I was born on the 22nd. And 22 is lucky number.
Well then xxoo to you! And I didn’t think of it until after I posted it, but hope you didn’t mind me putting that mention of another photographer on your page…
OH absolutely not. I just googled his work and he is AMAZING!!! We are all here to support each other and I just LOVE seeing other’s work.
I saved all of his photos and made a folder with his name…they are great wallpapers!
Oh, you’ve probably noticed by now..but as you’re looking through his albums..he gives detail on how he took the picture and different tricks, and effects. Your pics, however, are just as beautiful as his, I must say. I see some good photographers on here..but none that really have that oomph…but I must admit your pics as well as his give me that oomph! LOL xxoo
Well.. thank you… that’s very sweet
Truly inspiring. Love surely makes the world spin and most definitely makes my heart and soul SING!
Very well said… and thank you so much xxoo
