Betsy and I became  friends through Sudbury Valley Nature Photographers but our friendship has grown over the last 10 years.  I love her cheerfulness. Anytime I call her and she is always ready to hear what I’m doing and is such a good listener. She finally gets around to telling me what’s happening in her life.

Her avid interest in anything is so refreshing . I love the way she “rethinks new ways of doing things”. She is open to new ideas and takes action. What a young talented woman she is. She organizes, gets people together, plays the piano, sings, makes wonderful dinners, is a great & loving caregiver as well as a really good photographer, sees flowers in macro as well as life in big scale. To think she is having such a significant birthday! She is amazing.

I like this photo when I organized for Betsy, Sue and I to go up to Plum Island to photograph. Here is Betsy..just thinking of her “next shot”..just

like her  life..’thinking what is next” to explore.

Much love to you Betsy and Happy Birthday,

your dear friend, Carol Walsh
