Hi, I'm Marilyn.  I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile.  It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here.  I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends.  Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time.  Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!!  Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet.  You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long.  Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

Nicely shot Marilyn. I love the flower as well as the story about it. I have seen the "salmon" color once. But, didn't have a chance to stop at that time. Now, it is gone for now. Aloha

Spectacular flower featuring your favorite color! And backed up by quite a tale...which obviously must be true:)

Fantastic details and color! I love the DOF. The red is so intense but not overpowering and I like the leaves in the background, the way they're nicely fuzzy, like The Supremes backing Diana Ross. They're subtle, but they're there, adding a lot to the whole picture. Great work.

The legend is most interesting and wouldn't you like to have a few of these magnificent flowers gracing your backyard?

Beautiful capture of this Lehua flower. I think someone has picked the lehua flower cause it has been raining all week. Also, I just went Sunday morning to Kalapana at the lava area and the lava has lite the mountain in red. Aloha

a vivid and bursting shot, with powerful reds and a really nice angled pov; and the faded reds in the background feel like curtains. I haven't read the legend only for lack of time, but I'll save it to read later. I'm sure it'll enhance my appreciation of your photo. But the photo by itself is filled with real power...
