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

It does look like a late winter, Carin! Here I have the heater on for the first time - watching the game in Seapoint! Great shot, Clive

ooh, more sensitive work from you, Carin. The light behind the leaves give them a quiet luminous feel, and that alone makes it a sweet shot. But the sunburst (low, which is nice) reminds us of the intensity that sits behind it. I like the opening at the top, and the way the leaves feel like fall lights. A simple shot but very expressive, and another of your thoughtful pieces. Hope the winter is a beautiful one! I have to keep reminding myself that half the earth is in winter now! I never get used to that! Here, the leaves are totally green!

I did zoom and was astounded by the wonderful contrast and detail in this cool skyward-looking foto, Carin! And the title usually suggests that it's the middle of December.

This is beautiful! I love the light and the way it lights up the color of the leaves. Autumn is always such an interesting thoughtful time for me as I wind down from the intensity of summer. And the changing of the leaves is always very pretty and somehow majestic. It's so easy to sit here at the computer and type away being only vaguely aware of how many miles seperate us all. Here in Chicago late spring is finally giving way to summer. What a big planet this is. What a small planet the Internet makes it into. A wonderful photo.
