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

After reading about those beaks, some years back, I decided I would not chance an encounter. I stay well clear of them all - even the ones people say are so tame and loving...I also know how they are like people and can take an instant dislike to something in a heartbeat. And they are better than elephants at never forgetting...and they rarely forgive. :-) Stunning detail and you are a brave girl!

Vivid colors and textures in this simply superlative portrait of the rather morose looking Macaw, Carin! The beak does appear to be somewhat threatening at that.

Stunning color this bird has,.....WOW!!!!
bmac62
Wow, what a red head! I'd have been very wary:) A Macaw always has that old sage look with a little bit of madness thrown in to keep you off balance.
