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 love these so much I bought one 5 years ago. It has not liked me or my yard...it is only 6 inches taller than when I bought it and never has more than 4 leaves on it. Don't even speak to me about a flower...it isn't happening. LOL I will simpley enjoy it by looking at your photo. And what a spectacular one it is!

Magnificent mood ambiance in this stellar capture of one of my favorite flowers, Carin! These beauties are out of season at the present time up in my neck of the woods.
