Testimonials

I was totally transfixed by this beautiful compilation. Thank you so much. Absolutely beautiful.

Linda

So beautiful, I cried. I lost both my parents recently, and this lovely scene of two magnificent birds who mate for life, and the lovely music, reminded me of my parents’ 70 yearlong life together. Thank you.

Sally

I don’t check Nextdoor as often as I’d like, and I am just tingling! The swans were the first post I opened up to, and then I pressed play and was so touched, I can’t articulate my feelings other than simply saying It’s just beautiful on all points. Thank you so much for sharing.

Kim

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, amazing, comforting and peaceful and just the perfect calming & serene music. Thank you for gift and sharing your amazing work.

Barbara

Thank you so much. Very peaceful. Your music matched so perfectly. Reminded me of Eric Satie 🙏🎶⭐️

Deborah

Just seeing these photos now Jonathan and they show such Dignity, Grace and Beauty. Has National Geographic grabbed you up yet??? Did you know that your photos really help us HEAL in a pandemic? #natureheals

Ivy

Thank You again for your great pictures. You have a extraordinary talent and must have a calming effect on nature. I think the wildlife must find you so you can share their beauty.

JoAnn

Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs. They remind us what is truly important in life, not just the little stuff we constantly fret about.

Cathy

John

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Jonathan. Your piano piece was soul nourishing and listening to it while watching those beautiful birds was an exquisite experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Lisa

Jonathan, what a beautiful piece! I just realized you posted the KGW Interview. You are incredibly talented and so well spoken. And you play the piano and compose music! Someone was definitely at the head of the line when talent was being handed out. Fantastic! I’m so happy for you and for all of the people this interview touches. Well, done!

Kim

Jonathan- I saw the story on the news last night. Such beautiful birds. Clearly you are very talented and have a great understanding of how to find peace in this very unpeaceful world. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.

Pam

Jonathan, I immediately recognized your photography work and music as we watched these segments TWICE on TV last evening, and told my husband, “that is the guy on Nextdoor who does the beautiful photos and plays the piano!!” It was a most wonderful story and we both loved it!! Thank you!

Barrett

I will repeat what everyone else on Nextdoor has said and knows, you are extremely talented and I am very happy for you to have more of Portland see your talent. The piece on KGW was great. Glad you are getting the accolades you deserve. We are lucky to have you. Please keep doing what you do. You truly enjoy it and it shows

JoAnn

You captured the moment with the swan dance – so beautiful it brought chills to me. The simplicity of nature has been my solace this past year; thank you for sharing your gift.

Sharon

I was just waiting for this ever since you posted your Swan composition here. You deserve all the acknowledgment Jonathan because you are obviously Super Talented and also what you share helps Hearts and Souls as only Nature and Music can do during extraordinarily difficult times as these. Please don’t forget National Geographic and other places to show your talent and creativity. I wish I could share the news clip but couldn’t figure out how from their website? Also, many people are not on NextDoor, as I discovered when trying to share the Swan video. If you post on YouTube, please let us know. I want to share your magnificent work all over the world!

Ivy

Thank you so much for sharing your talent in capturing the magnificent grace and beauty of the swans and your soul-enriching piano piece. I look forward to all of your postings here and agree with the others that your healing and empowering gifts should be shared with the world. 💖

Lisa

This is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.

Suzette H.

I have watched this video over and over and over again. When I am feeling down I watch and listen to this National Geographic Style Video created by a neighbor and I am reminded of how beautiful life is when you can get out of your head. I will never tire of watching this. It heals my soul in troubled times. Thank you for this precious gift.

Lauri B

Amazing beauty and grace! Thanks for sharing your talents with us all. It brightens our world.
