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

Beautiful colors and contrast in this photo. The vine roots must have grown into the lemon tree to pick up the sour taste. :>) Dana

These look lucious...even though I know they must be sour to the taste. Great job on your part sorting the grapes from the lemons:) Sorry, I've been missing some comments...I intend to catch up:)

AWWW!!! They look so wonderful and so beautiful. Gorgeous colors and amazing how they have grown into the grape tree. :-))) I love this shot.

Beautiful color and texture. Actually a good visual combination, grape leaves tend to be a little spotty and ragged at this point.

i looked at the leaves and thought---am I seeing things??? What gorgeous color, hard to imagine anything so beautiful could be anything but sweet and luscious--GREAT shot!!

Such a delicious looking shot, that was surprised to learn about the taste! The colours of summer, Carin! If I had no dogs I think I should fly down to you for a few weeks.

OMG, the purple fruit looks so appealing it's difficult to believe that it would be so sour. Most deceiving and silently predatory, I must say. In any case, gorgeous vivid colors in this stunning macro, Carin!

I tend to like sour grapes...not necessarily for eating, but because they're just so darn pretty! As a child I often thought that I'd become a jewelry designer just so that I could bedeck gorgeous women (Namely Barbara Carerra, the hottie of that time) in extravagant sour-grape creations that would ideally have sold for $10,000 per item. Ah...I thought big as a kid, especially in terms of grapes and the way they'd look hanging from Barbara Carerra's neck. Funny how today, Catherine Zeta-Jones has that Barbara Carerra vibe going, so maybe I should resurrect that childhood dream and design more grape jewelry for famous Welsh-derived actresses who do lots of T-Mobile commercials. Anyway, I've rambled on and on, when essentially I just wanted to say how wonderful this shot is. The colors are rich and vivid and almost decadent; this image possesses a kind of refined elegance that skirts the edge of decadence without actually getting sullied by it. I wonder if sour grapes make good wine? I suspect it would be a bit on the dry side, which is good for me! This is a luscious shot!

It looks delicious Carin. Outstanding capture.

The grapes look so lush and yummy but a shame they don't taste so good. Try some potash on the roots for next year.

Outstanding shot!

I wonder if the vines knows it picked such a pretty place to fruit

Those grapes absolutely glow! Gorgeous image. Such an eye catcher!

I immediately looked at the leaves and wondered. Given the title I was expecting a bottle... Chardonnay or Shiraz! Hmm... if you and Andrea get together, can I fly a few bottles up from the Cape???! Great colours, Clive

I love the colors!
