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

Oh hey, that looks like ours :-) We've got a Chilean Rose we call Socks (check out the pics in my gallery). Yes Piet - I'm pretty sure that's the same species. Gorgeous capture!!

Well, I'm no spider fan, but this one has a lovely fur coat. I don't think I'd want to find one in my bed, that's for certain! I hope they're both up and out again soon. Excellent shot, Carin!

Just an awesome capture...I'm up, I'm up honest!!!. This has been one heck of a head sinus cold now working its way into the chest. It must be man flu, the variety that strikes males alot harder than the opposite sex...lol. Two days without sleep and yet being so tired...oh well. However going to the doctor just to make sure it isn't turning into something more serious. Love the Photograph...love the photographer!!!

I have seen so many in Mexico.during the winter they would come out on the highway by the 100's and of course become road kill.I sure hoped that I would not break down in that area I hope both have a speedy recovery and an excellent macro

Wonderful photo! I would love to own one like this!

Okay, while I don't want one in my bed, I find tarantulas to be quite beautiful! In general I'm not a big spider lover, but that's because they usually don't have much in the way of visuals. This one is a sweetie ... and just look at all that detail! The light shows off every hair, every nuance. Gorgeous capture! You're a brave woman, dierbaar! Thank you! Stywe druk en baie liefde!
Realm2D
What an amazing close up!
goodoleboy
Wow, it kinda looks like a porcupine, but not with those eight hairy legs, Carin! Spectacular lighting and textural effects in this macro portrait of the shy and nonassuming arachnid, young lady.

Minda
