This photo is my personal favorite for 2008, a zoom shot of an agave stalk with high contrast and composition most important to me:

Agave Cradle

For my friends and new contacts, you may contact me by flickrmail. I had to limit my contacts to a number that I can reasonably keep up with and follow with comments, but I do look at each and every person who comments on my photos and appreciate your interest. I have a CC license on my photos for Attribution-noncommercial-share/share alike and some rights are reserved. Contact me if you have a project where you may want to use one of my photos. I've had more requests for stock photography uses and am now setting up a personal website to accommodate that and other special photography services. Will announce that when it is ready.

Comments and suggestions on my photos are encouraged. I helped start the first of the Arizona flickr meetups, and have met about 65 flickr members now. My favorite group is Arizona Wonders, with over 1,600 members. One and all are most welcome friends.

My most current photos are most easily found by looking at my archives pages:

For the heck of it, I created a long poster of images on flickr that have shown up in Explore as of November 2007. You'll have to view this in the largest size to make any sense of it, but it was fun to put together:

Thank You fd and bighugelabs.com!

This link will take you to a list and image with links of some of my favorite groups in flickr:

I'm Female and Single.
