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've done the fudge and nearly 10 dozen cookies (I hid the fudge but the cookies already disappeared!!!)Next up - rum balls and breadpudding and I plan to do those when no one is around and then hide those too! I wish I could make tomales - I love them at the holidays but I don't often find homemade in the stores. Flamigos are indeed lovely as your excellent shot shows. Very nice shot!

Beta carotene? An amazing bit of information to add to my mental archives. Super keen capture of the flamingo fishing for food, Melinda! And your baked goodies sound extremely yummy.

Oh and it's true, I saw a bird park in Durban South Africa where they had to adjust the feeding content just to bring back the color. Excellent capture.
