I am 76 Years old. I was on October 24, 2023. I was 58 when I joined Flickr.

 

Meanwhile, let me explain that it has taken over 40 minutes to place my real name where my user name was and vice versa. I was unable to do it. So I'll just put it here. It is Dorothy Delina Porter. I usually go by my middle name of Delina, pronounced with a long *i*. I don't necessarily like my 2nd marriage name of Porter but have never bothered to change it. I'm not too thrilled with my 1st married name nor my maiden name either. Lots of baggage with all 3 names. So until I think of one I like that is worth paying the fee to apply for at the Courthouse, it is Porter. I think I could go back to my maiden/birth name for free (not sure) but it had some horrid times.

 

Getting back for free a name that reminds me of horrid times, doesn't seem like such a bargain, eh? 🎭

I belong to a jillion groups because my interests are quite varied. However, there are only three groups that specifically made a membership card for me to display. So, here they are:

 

The World of Cats and Kittens! =^..^=

Please pick up your copy here

for display on your profile.

Pixel Packin' Mama is an independent woman, whose pictures show the diversity of her interests, from zoo animals, wildlife, historical photographs, to family, with very artistic experiments and touches. What drew me to her photographs in the first place was her screen name and her old photos. Then, I discovered her multidimensionality. Her screen name reminds me of an old song, " Pistol Packin' Mama," Delina has taken that song and turned it into a modern day pixel packin' expression of light, form, and color that expresses her quiet, but exuberant personality. Thanks Delina.
