I amĀ 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was stillĀ using a SLR camera andĀ only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Polly is so beautiful, with her exquisite colouring! What a sensational capture and scene! She looks as though she just woke up, and her feathers are a little ruffled, heheā¦ these birds are so intelligent! Excellent photograph!

Polly has wonderful posture but a pot belly! We must limit her crackers! LOL. She is a lovely feathered lady with that wrap-around boa of many colors. Simple marvelous capture.

Oh he is so beautiful!!! Superb capture Carin! My sister used to have macaws,cockatiels,cockatoo's and lovebirds (yep, we are all animal lovers, lol!)Do they allow you to keep fallen feathers? Some places will let you have them, others charge an arm and a leg. Alex and I both collect feathers, and Alex makes me earrings from feathers:-) (((C)))

A nice capture of this colorful bird Carin. They are nice to look at but can be a handful as pets, Sig...

Stunning image and very beautiful colors...Jen
Mad-Mike
Wonderful capture again!! And hope you two always have wonderful days together! This birdy is real pretty with these great colors!

I tend to agree with Sig - they are a handful as a pet - have an african grey - and still all my fingers! Lovely image of this macaw - and the puffing feathers dont always means they are alert - it can also be a sign of love or effectionate. Still beautiful!
