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

Hi Carin, wow cool a fellow South African here at RR. Very nice capture you've done here and the frame work so well with the image. I agree the heat here is really getting somewhat depressing!lol Muis

A delightful macro image Carin, really beautiful and great postwork. I still find it hard to take in fully that I'm 'talking' to people regularly on the other side of the world and they are enjoying summer right NOW! How silly of me!

very nice and warm, Carin! thanks for the warm thoughts. I think the birds have it right, migrate south for the winter, or in your case north. so as to stay warm.

Thanks Carin..., I'll take it. I have to laugh. I think everybody really likes the cold, snow and ice as a change of pace...they just won't admit it. Have a great week. Bill

How pretty this is! Love the colors! It's sweet of you to offer some heat for us, but I love the cold myself. All I miss about summer is the flowers... :)

Stellar soft lighting effects and demure colors in this elegant macro of the zinnia, Carin. Now that I think of it, you have been conspicuously absent from the sacred halls of Renerosity as of late, particularly in re adding comments to my daily postings - hint, hint. I'm back to uploading classic autos.

I’ve never seen such a large center pollen structure on a single flower. Nice macro capture and thanks for sharing some South African sunshine. Dana P
