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!

It doesn't look like a "sitting" garden but this is one I'd love to move around in. The lake in the distance is a good place to rest the eyes.

Hmmmm, someone has cultivated a vast rose garden. Nice ambiance in this shot of the lovely mansion, contrasted against the Lake Superior mist, Melinda.

Wow! That's my dream house. Excellent shot.

This is quite lovely...I think I have to become a famous writer/photographer and then buy it so that I can get a particular Russian to move in and help me run the artists' commune that this is destined to become (at least in some wacky fantasy.) Are those peonies on the left? I love their color! The whole image is so rich in color and form...the architecture strikes me as that sort of exposed timber architecture I enjoyed in the Czech Republic, usually in bars where I was the only English speaker AND the only person with skin that wasn't pink. Needless to say, that whole "exotic thing" insured that I always got free shots of Slivovice distilled under somebody's kitchen sink, or Becherovka, and invitations to attend impromptu parties that usually involved even more rocket fuel--um, I mean, alchohol! Such parties were always at little "insignificant" places that looked like this mansion. Czechs are weird...they'll build something the size of a small city, then turn around and call it a house! Go figure! I love your use of ambient light here...it's bright enough to reveal everything, but so much of the color is kept muted in that wholly "ambient" way that really works well for this kind of photography. Excellent work.

Beautiful home. I had one in St Paul. Doubtlessly, a Suprior backgound. Nice POV with great details!
