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

I knew this would be a bright red flower of some sort--you didn't disappoint me. Good thing I don't live close to you,I probably couldn't resist one of the kitties!!
MrsRatbag
Yes, good thing I'm far away too, I'd probably take all of them, I can't resist kittens. Lucky you, to get to see them develop! Beautiful shot, these say summer and heat to me too.

Stellar capture of the vividly red bottle brush in summer, Carin! Perfect for scouring out thermos bottles. And, congratulations on the kitten sextet delivery.

Beautiful capture. I know nothing about plants but I shot a picture of a bottle brush near me two days ago. It is still flowering. Good luck with mom and the kids.

Bottlebrush are gorgeous but they attract bees so they are admired best like this...in a brilliantly done photo. :-)

A wonderful bright way to start summer.

Well done, Carin! You have stumped me though.... you have been deleting images! You were on 399 and I thought this was going to be 400. Darn, a week of holding my breath! Good luck with kittens, Clive

Oh beautiful! Het jy al ooit die takke van 'n Bottle Brush met 'n snoeisker geknip terwyl hy blom? En al die fyn rooi blaartjies tussen jou klere en jou sweterige lyf probeer uitkry??? Bad memories!

What a gorgeous photograph! You did a beautiful job of capturing that brilliant red. Six kitties! I hope you'll be able to photograph them when they're in a playful mood, and show us how cute they are! (Ek is jammer ... Ek kon nie weerstaan!) :D

Six kittens? Nice! I'm looking to adopt at least one cat of my own, but not until all of my travel plans are over and done with, which means I'll be adopting a Russian cat that probably meows with something of an attitude and pronounced political savvy. As for this photograph, it's funny because before I even read your comment on it, I thought that you'd photographed one of Nature's cleaning utensils. It's a gorgeous bloom, and it looks a wee bit predatory. Since I know nothing about flowers, I actually do have to ask: does it bite, sting, or at least peck? (Pretty things usually do tend to bite, or at least nibble, after all. This is a gorgeous shot. Wonderfully clear.
