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

Very pretty! I thought of you on Thursday morning when I was in our public pool, with only 3 other people and a handsome lifeguard!

What a wonderful shot with the 3 elements. The animal kingdom, the vegetable kingdom and the mineral kingdom, if it isnt wood, I see to the right. It is a wonderful composition and a lovely butterfly. :-)

How thoughtful of the butterfly to wait for you. Excellent shot especially of the face.

Better clip those leaves back...they've already outgrown the frame:) Neat little butterfly.

I'm with Tara...we need to come to Africa...I've always liked that continent anyway, it looks a bit like a dog sniffing Antarctica, and South Africa is the nose. Hmmm...I wonder what Antarctica smells like? And yeah...the butterflies seem to hold still! They certainly don't in Chicago! This is excellent photographic work, and yeah...I can imagine you flat on your stomach getting this shot! It's gorgeous and it paid off. I love the pattern on the butterfly's wings. And I'm curious about the plant too.
