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!

What a very cool find, and an excellent capture; happy birthday to you! I'm closing in on my own, but I think I'll give them up. They're making me old!

I have decided to embrace each birthday, it is better to have them and celebrate than to not have them ;) Thank you for the wishes :)

Nice backlighting and focus in this desert capture, Melinda. Indeed, a flaming heart, but also prickly. Rather that than thorny, I always say. And, as you coyly requested, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.
