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!

You are so funny! love the California fall description. Great shot!

Excellent shot; I love the center detail in this. I know what you mean about fall in SoCal--I grew up there. Lack of weather is the major reason I left.

There is interesting and beauty in dried dead things as you have captured in this wonderful photograph.

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was a strange bird. Whatever it is I like it!

Great macro!

Great Scott, Great Shot! Looks like a partridge in a pear tree! And has seen better days, I figure. As for fall, which is usually a one month period in Southern California, it comes in one color...blah.

We have much the same on this end of the valley. N.CA. is full of changing leaves but in the valley here where the rain hardly ever falls unless it is all at once to flood us out, we only see lush green or "golden bear" as I call it. wonderful macro.
