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

If you've ever turned them over and pried up their fangs, you will see just why you are terrified of them. Even the docile ones have huge fangs. I love the look of them behind glass and in photos...like this really stellar shot.

Getting the willies here .. and to think Piet lets them crawl all over him, and calls them beautiful. Yikes. My daughter would have nightmares if I showed her this. But, from a photographers point of view, I gotta admit, this is one TOP SHOT! :) :) :)

I am terrified of spiders ... I believe that I would be a heart attack if I find in my bed one of these "monsters"! Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Bruce and Tara!

Well! It can stay a baby as well as far as I'm concerned! Uuuuugh! It's a really detailed shot of one though. Well done. Now. Next challenge! Get a shot of a WILD one! Good luck! I'll be thinking of you!!! Rob.

Reminds me of growing up in Southern Arizona where after a heavy rain we would see these critters hopping across the highway. Great shot!

Wow!!! The first time I ever saw a Tarantula was in Texas. They are humongous creature. This puppy is by no means small. I'm sure this will make Bruce and Tara's blood flow fast. Wishing them good health. Excellent capture of this beautiful puppy. Aloha
