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 see the little piece of crab leg and I think of broiled crab legs or crab cakes, I see the mussels and I think of steamed mussels swimming in a rich butter sauce, but then I see the sea gull feather and I remember the gull swooping down and stealing French Fries right off my plate:) A neat beach scene Carin...fits perfectly with your series from Namibia.

wonderful detail and the colors are brilliant!

What a vast array of mussel shells atop the sand, Carin! At first glance I thought they were large beetles or cockroaches, lol. Great texture depicted, and the feather, possibly that of a gull, adds a bit of contrast and size relation to this fine image.

I love the irridescence of the muscle shells. Such beauty! It looks like jewelry just waiting to happen. Lovely image!

Beautiful colors in the mussel shells. They are truly black on this side of the giant pond. The feather was a nice touch of contrast. Dana

What wonderful colors! When I was much younger we could find live black shelled mussels along our Southern California beaches. With the polluted waters we have today you can't find shells on the beach anymore.
