A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

It's nice to see them especially when they told you the "birds" would crowd everything out.

Hey, wake me when it's over...no, just kidding! I wasn't bored by the narrative. I've never heard of or seen a giant Bird of Paradise, so this is all news to me. Interesting about this alternative flower growing out of the Bird. Anyway, a fine POV, lovely lily, with a soft blending of green in this magnificent capture, Melinda!

Do these stems pop out from a main clump of bladed green leaves? The flowers look much like my spider plant. Very delicate and delightful. As for the Bird... I was told there are two varieties...a large one that is mostly leaves and few blooms and one that is many blooms but slightly smaller in size. I've had mine planted in the back for 3 years now and no blooms and it hasn't gotten all the big either.

The only time we see bird of paradise is in the floral shop so have no idea how they grow. What a beautiful picture.
