Community Love

I´m late for Valentine´s day, but since there is no such a thing as too late for love, I decided to post what´s been on my mind lately: community love.
Everyday we all support and inspire each other by sharing, commenting and following each other´s work. We are lucky to be surrounded by wonderful teachers, fabulous classes, prompts, discussion groups, and the inspiration we are sharing is not only bringing in the fun, but it is also allowing us to advance in our craft with confidence and grace. It´s a beautiful movement actually, because the world can be so competitive and intimidating at times, whereas here, we have each other to lean on and prove that we are better when we stick together.
So I want to invite you to do something different today. Instead of posting an image of your own, why don´t you kick back and send some link love instead?! Share a link of an image shot by a sister who you admire and tell us why her body of work or a particular image of hers inspires you.
I´ll go first :) All the ladies featured above have so much talent! I love how they capture color, beautiful light and a sense of story (and/or expressiveness) in their images.
Now it´s your turn! Share the love ~

Deanna has the most wonderful eye for composition and texture. Plus she always has a kind word to share.

and i love your pictures from your book - i'm reading it now and love all the amazing photos i can find there - thanks for being the ongoing inspiration and showing that photography is so much more about feelings and capturing everyday beauty than technique and equipment ;-)

for all her inspiration. This artist does a wonderful job telling stories through pictures and journaling. Her photos are crisp, full of light and life. Such a great place to visit.

run, do not walk!
It's going to be hard to narrow down just to a few but the ones who immediately jump out at me are:
Darlene Terry and her amazing ability to capture these beautiful beasts and her unique creativity:

and definitely Jenny because of her eye for minute detail and more:

and prairiegirl, pretty much everything she posts:

and Martha's photos because of images like these (and her ability to pair nearly everything with such apt quotes too):

Okay, I'll stop now ... see, too many who inspire!
