I am a retired business owner and trained herbalist. I also have art training from college.
We live in a rural area and enjoy the woods, fields and the abundant wildlife near our home.
My hobbies include photography, gardening, reading, knitting, and genealogy. We love music and film.
I love color. Though I have an appreciation and love of black and white photography, most of my photos are splashed with color. Color makes me happy. My love of color is another reason to garden. And to photograph my garden to enjoy all year.
My cameras:
The earliest photos I uploaded onto Flickr were taken with an Olympus Camedia D-450.
Then I used my husband's Olympus Camedia C-4040.
As of November 2005, I have used my new camera, a Canon EOS Rebel XT.
I also use a telephoto lens, and a macro lens. As of early August, 2006, my macro lens is a Sigma 105 mm. Nice lens.
I also have recently acquired a HP Photosmart Pro B1900 printer that prints with pigments, not inks, and produces a superb and lasting image.

For photos of gardens with mixed plantings:

I hope you enjoy my photostream. As you see I love flowers, rural scenes, birds, pets and my family. More and more I am drawn into that little world we normally don't see with the naked eye, but is visible with a macro lens. What a beautiful and complex world we inhabit.
Anyone interested in purchasing my work, or for similar, please contact me via Flickr mail.

Lida's photo's are so good because they are an extension of her personality. How nice is she to add a Chipmunk Guy to her contact list?? You probably don't hear this in NY. But in the South, we'd say you are sweeter than a tall glass of Ice Tea.

Each time I look at one of her photos, I say, "oh yes, this one is my favorite." And then, I click on the next photos, and realize, no this one, or is it the next one.

Okay, slightly odd analogy coming up, but when I look at Lida Rose’s photos I get the same feeling I do when I put my glasses on after not wearing them for awhile. Pow!

Okay, slightly odd analogy coming up, but when I look at Lida Rose’s photos I get the same feeling I do when I put my glasses on after not wearing them for awhile. Pow! Everything is in focus and all of sudden I’m seeing details I NEVER noticed before. She takes nature photos that in less gifted hands might just be pretty but somehow she adds that extra layer of fabulous. I’m delighted she’s getting the attention and praise she so richly deserves and I can’t wait to see what’s next for her! Oh yeah, she’s also witty as hell. Her comments on my photos and other flickr members are highly amusing!
