I am 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 still using a SLR camera and 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

Wow, a marvelous shot, something to keep me warm during a cold x-mas, thx once more, you really help me keep the head above water, and I'm more in need of it now than ever, so thx, thx, thx ;-)

Spectacular! Had to find an unused superlative before it gets used up. You can see why many kings used the peacock as their emblem. A little trivia: It was frequently used by King Ludwig of Bavaria...of Neuschwanstein fame. Bill

Absolutely stunning! every time I look at an image like this, I'm reminded of the Myth of the eyes in the peacock's tail! Well done

I don't think that the wall is that big a factor. At least that is not what I noticed until you mentioned it. It's still a great shot of a Peascock.

Beautiful shot. Fascinating bird. No wonder his enemies get scared, when he spread that tail.+5

A tremendous capture at the most perfect moment! An aura of beauty Carin, undoubtedly! I'm not sure why, but the decor and the design seems to make me think of the Holidays... hehe.... What a wonderful, wonderful capture, my Friend..... :) warm hugs

Aaha, the favourite food of tigers :). They are such lovely birds, I would have one but they are too noisy for the burbs of my little town. As for you two in the pool, well I'm more likely to be in the Lake or river as the water in those is warm enough to stay in all day at the moment :)
