Gorgeous…. every one of them!!! I enjoyed my visit to your gallery website, and would have walked through your flower gardens longer if not for a 3 1/2 yr old needing to be fed. Thank you for sharing your talents. God Bless, Louise Gillmore

Mr. Barr,
You have a great gift. I found myself smiling as I traveled through your gallery, and lingered in your garden. I believe you have done what God intended; “Capturing Beauty” (the name couldn’t be more perfect! Thanks for inviting me, I’ll visit again soon.

What a lovely collection. You have a true talent for capturing the beauty.

I had your “flower in detail” photo up on my screen this morning, ready to send my comment, when my sleepy-eyed 4yr old walked into the room. I picked him up and hugged him good morning, and the first words from his mouth were “Pretty flower.” Don’t you love the simple truth?

EVERY TIME I GET A CHANCE TO WANDER THROUGH YOUR LOVELY GARDEN, I FIND NEW AND EVEN LOVELIER FLOWERS. YOU ARE TRULLY TALENTED AT THIS JOE. YOU REALLY CAPTURE THE BEAUTY.

Wow, I am always stunned at the beauty you have captured in even ordinary garden flowers. “And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted (Kahlil Gibran).”

Joe- Although I’ve seen your work before, and found it very pleasing to my discerning eye, tonight is the first time I have been able to visit your site and spend an extended amount of time viewing each piece. I can see why you are drawn to the subjects you photograph. Thank you for sharing your visions with the rest of us. I look forward to more of your work.

Joe,
what beauty you have captured. Your flower images seem so…’zen’ and so pure. The last of the lighthouse images chilled me! I could hear the waves crashing, the birds calling and the sun and wind on my face…really!

Though I have no time to write, I quickly took a peek at your website and how wonderful your flowers are. Just beautiful on this snowy, foggy, winter’s day. Bless you for the bright cheeriness you add to life, year round.
Love & best wishes,
Louise

Hi Joe:
I am at work and not time to think much. I need more time to look at your flowers and choose one. I paint flowers and make them dance. Nio patience for detail. Beree
