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

One of my friends "Brave Terry" had a tree like this and I never knew why they gave it the name the "Autograph Tree" till we saw this at Umauma Falls. Nice capture. Aloha

How interesting and novel an idea. Now this is really creative and you've captured the spirit of it wonderfully.

Nice shot Marilyn. But, I am wondering just how long will the leaves stay on the tree? Here today, gone in a week or two.....Aloha

A strange thing for people to do, well captured though!

but nowadays, rather than use pen and paper, they sit right down and type themselves a letter on their laptop. The vivid colors run all the way across the spectrum in this fine foto, Maz! I've never seen this display of sweet gentle graffiti around here. It's usually sprayed on sidewalks or carved on the side of tree trunks. In fact, I've even see it chiseled into the sidewalk.

Indeed a fascinating plant and one with history written right on it. Great find and I agree its a very special plant.

wonderful capture and how fun warm hugs, Linda

an amazing sight, yes! But it's also a wonderful capture, a cornucopia of shapes & forms and hues, and like a big street festival for leaves. Whatever you did to it, if anything, brought out the words & inscriptions almost as light in the leaves. I understand Andrea that there's something jarring about it, if you consider that leaves have been defaced, even damaged; but there's also something wonderful about people leaving their love in the leaves (which I assume will survive the assault). And I love harry's comment too. Wonderful, a real Marilyn shot, something you wouldn't find in many galleries. Very vital seeing.

Wow. This is amazing. The colors are perfect, as usual, and the carved/written names really make me sit still and try to read all of them. It's hypnotic in a way.

nice shot
