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!

I don't think there is such as thing as 114 degrees, is there? Maybe in hell but ... oh well, where did you say you live??? LOL It was only 102 here yesterday and 99 today. Quite a cooling trend. This is a really great shot. I love the lighting and the composition is nice and simple with a relaxed sort of celebratory feeling to it.

Tara had a birthday? I didn't know that. Actually, technically speaking, we have only one birthday in our lives...that's the day we are born. We therefore celebrate that event every year when it falls on the appropriate day of the month. So, it should be Happy Birthdate, celebrating the day we first saw the light of day. Anyway, terrific colors, composition and lighting effects in this flash photo, Melinda.
