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

Fantastic aloe, I've never seen one like this before I came down to Florida. I took pictures of a group of them and didn't realise what they were because the new tops hadn't grown in yet. Excellent capture!

Super clarity and contrast in this shot of the healing plant, Carin! I'm glad you identified it as an aloe plant, because I thought at first it was some kind of palm tree mutation. And, I know you"re going to be busy, but would strongly appreciate it if you can stop by my gallery to view the elegant autos I'm in the process of posting.

What a great view, and POV. I would never expected, that an Aloe can get such high. I have a little one of that kind Aloe.
