These are the very first 3 groups I started here at flickr, but I didn't stop there... :-)



Update: February 2008
I started another 3 groups:



and was invited to help administer another 7:








Update: August 2007
I love art, colors and photography. Recently I discovered photoshop. Wow! What a combination!!!
Now I am reeeeally addicted... :-)
I no longer have a Kodak EasyShare CX6200: my husband gave me a Cannon PowerShot A620 in August 2006 and for my last birthday he gave me a Canon EOS Rebel XT, with all those fancy and cool lens and filters. I'm not very good with neither of them but even though the Rebel XT is a much better camera, most of the time I use my Powershot one: is much lighter and easier to use - as I said I am NOT a very good photographer: I just love photography... :-)
I hope you enjoy my pics. I'm not a professional: actually, I'm taking my very first steps with photoshop but, to tell you the truth, I rather go with my instincts then "following the rules"... Oh well... :-)
Cheers to all!
Perla

Even though I love taking pictures I know I am not a good photographer. I am really not a pro! My camera is just a Kodak EasyShare CX6200 which I bought at Walmart to take pictures of my hubby and our dogs. Then we started taking pictures of our family and friends and flowers and trips we made and and and...
I'm Brazilian and Bob is American. We lived in Oregon, USA until October 2003, when we packed our stuff together and moved to Brazil. Along with us we brought our two dogs: they are part of our family and we could never even think about leaving them behind! :-)
Even though I am from Rio de Janeiro, a pretty nice big city, I as well as Bob, could not stand living in a crowded city again so, we bought a nice house with lots of yard/playing area for Avalon and Lua, in Rio das Ostras, which is about 100 mi from Rio de Janeiro city. We also have adopted another three dogs, Babe, Juca and Tasha. We cannot think of a better place to live in.
By the way, thanks for stoping by and taking a look at our "great sets" of pictures. We hope you enjoy your visit and come back soon again to take a look at some of our new pictures.
Take care,
Perla.

Her work is awesome and always a pleasant surprise. It is truly

"Sweet Perla is also my friend. Someone so caring and genuine, it really touches my heart. I am thankful to her for so easily letting me share my flickr life and being part of hers. Perla is a gem, with energy that bounces off and lights me up. She has many talents and her art entertains me with their beauty. Most of all, I am honored when she invites me to some of her many, many groups as it makes me feel wanted. She was there for me when I started on flickr. And though she is now away for long periods of time I still feel we will always be connected.
Big hug, Renee :-)"3rd August, 2008

"Perla
Is one of my fave's here on Flickr, I have watched her blossom like a spring flower. Her art work is inspiring for many and I frequently have to pick my jaw up from off my chest. I am always impressed !!!!!
Get down, or up, which ever the case may be. If you like color you'll not be disappointed by stopping in, and bring a lunch as you'll be here a while."23rd January, 2008

Sandra's Photographs says:
"Perla
She has a great name because she is a treasure!
Perla is a great artist and its impossible to label her soley as a photographer, a graphic artists etc. She is without dought an artist of high standing as her work demonstrates.
She is a giving person, not only of her work but in her ability to help others in ways we would not expect.
I am so very grateful that Perla has come on board the Happy Arts Postcards group. We are lucky to have her."16th October, 2007

Self Deleted says:
"You are a great asset to Flickr and to photography in general. Your talent and creativity speak for themself and are truly inspirational. Aside from that and I believe most important, is the fact that you are always willing to help and contribute in any way you can. That is something you don't see often when you meet people in online communities. Thank you for everything."

"Perla
She said she is not a photographer. I certainly agreed with that.
To me, she is a great imaging artist. She handle lights, Colors extremely well. Each of her exhibit is a master piece by itself.
When you visit here, you would be impress upon like I do. Be ready for her inspiration.
I appreciate your contributions to the Net communities & everything....
You are great!!"22nd April, 2007
