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!

A great shot. I haven't seen one eating like this. Fabulous capture.

Hidden, it is funny to see its hind legs dangling. Good close up, well composed. Funny that you mention you can't kill them despite them wreaking havoc. I changed my attitude quite some time ago and I am thrilled to stick out my finger and let them get on, as if they know they are safe now. I know I am blah-ing, lol.

Oh yeah, I can see the bugger is really going to town on the leaves. Munch a bunch! And what's with those spiked shins and feet? Better to climb with my dear! Strong dude...hanging on by its arms...didn't even have to wrap its legs around the stem for support. Ennyweigh, fine macro, Melinda!
