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

Nice shot Carin. I trying to lure some feathered friends to my yard to get some shots. Proving to be a little tougher than I thought!

I had a giggle at your title: all poofed up and all puffed up have two quite different meaning where I live! A SUPERB shot!
timtripp
excellent capture!

Who's a pretty bird, then? You can send her up here to warm up ... Afrika has come to Seattle this week ... it was over 100F here yesterday!

I can clearly see the gentle curve in the beak's line where the upper and lower meet and that is a delight. Fabulous, up-close and very personal portrait.

I love finches. All of ours have left because of the heat. But in the spring we have hundreds of them at our feeders. Great shot of this little guy clinging to the branch.

Terrific POV and textures in this stellar capture of the intrepid little avian, expanding its feather plumage as protection against the bitter cold wind, Carin! I bet you have a cat foto for everyone of my automobile pictures.

He is gorgeous! My first marriage I was given two finches for a wedding gift, named them Pete and Penny...Penny apparently wasn't happy with Pete because I awoke to find him pecked to death one morning...hmmm, an omen for my marriage maybe that broke up after 3 years:-) I hope this baby finds the perfect mate! Beautifully captured Carin! (((C)))
