I've been taking pictures since I was a very young girl using whatever camera mom was using at the time. When I was 16 our family met another family who had relocated from England. Their son was a photographer and soon after we met I was cashing in my bonds from grandma and purchasing my Nikon FM2 (which I still use). After graduating from high school I started doing other things and the photography took a back seat. Almost 20 years later two professional photographers entered my circle of friends and they inspired me to pick up that camera again. I don't know yet where this is taking me but it's a passion that's driving me into the unknown. For now though I'm just so happy to be creating again and I love this site and all the kindness I've been shown in here. Renderosity ROCKS!!!!!!!!
On a personal note I'm a stay at home mom to four kids which I adopted and who are the willing subjects of many a picture LOL. Also I now have an awesome step son. There's three grown kids out in the world too and two grandbabies ;-) YUP we are busy people!!!!

Anither nice capture, your focal point seems to be at the front of this flower more than the centre, DOF is perfect. Would be nice to know the names of the plants Stuart

My aunt who knows nothing about flowers would look at me and ask, "Is this what is called variegated?" Now that I have the Internet I can boot up and find something.

LOL my thoughts exactly Stuart. Unfortunately I uploaded around midnight and my brain was totally not functioning hahaha. Call to mom should grant me a fast name. :-D And thanks for the focal point note... I'm trying to learn how to use my new macro lense... it's a bit of a learning experience isn't it! tallpindo: where would I begin looking for a name for this on the internet? It had occured to me to try that but the thought of opening pandora's box and spending another two hours up was too daunting at that moment ROFL
