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's been a while is right! Weeks that turn into months! I often think about you and wonder if we'll ever see you again. That said, superlative soft color and focus in this ultra closeup, Melinda!

What an image. The raindrops on this make me think of nectar, and that's never a bad thing. The color is nicely intense as well. I just looked at your bedraggled flower and this is a nice compliment, and because my mind is always going off in odd directions, I'll just say that this also reminds me of a piece of candy, or maybe candied fruit? I think it's the color and the drops. Oh, and isn't getting back into shape fun. Meal planning can actually lead to some nicely pleasant culinary adventures, and you can discover things like those truly marvelous fruit salads that involve apples, pears and fresh dill; I could live off of those in summer.
