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

You may recall I said RUM. Oh well, I'm glad to see you are on the mend and outside again. Wonderful lighting on this. Don't rush, Carin, just take thing easy for a while.

I have to remind myself that it is coming up on spring in your part of the globe. Love citrus trees, lucky for me my neighbor has lime, lemon, and orange trees, all of which overhang the fence into my yard. Wanted to drop a note, but the comments being turned off your last post I took as a "Do not disturb" kind of thing. So glad your feeling better :)

Ag Dierbaar ... weet jy ek mis jou! >:D< Bekruip hier en Ek sal meng jy 'n bietjie. Tannie sal sorg baie goed vir jou! :* :D Beautiful lemons! It must be such a joy to have this wonderful tree in your yard. Of course they don't grow here ... we just buy them at the store. :P

Stunning capture Carin. I will be waiting for you to come back.

Beautiful ... the detail of the texture on the lemon is great. We just planted a Meyer lemon, and a mandarin last summer. We have several little green ones on both bushes at present, and am hoping for a taste of them both whenever they ripen. Hope your life improves quickly. We all go through such things at times.

I love the textures, the shining on it and the lemon pure ;-) Fantastic shot, Carin. So nice you have such a tree in your own garden!

This is superb, and I'm really glad that things are slowly beginning to settle. Odd how life interferes with living at times, but hopefully things are going quite well. Now, as for this picture! WOW! I love the freshness and the intensity of the colors, and the shape of the lemon: nicely foreshortened. And funny thing about lemons...they contain more sugar than oranges! Okay, they also contain more citric acid too, which is why you pucker so much rather than notice the sweetness. Funny how that works. I just love nature, especially when pretty things taste good, make you pucker, or go good with Tequila, (or Vodka if you're not one of those Vodka purists who refuses to mix it--actually I'm one of those annoying vodka purists who will never mix it, but I'll sniff a lemon afterward.)

I didn't get to welcome you back:-( Love lemons and this is a masterful shot of your home grown variety. Am back in Kansas for a week clearing out my house to rent it in a couple of months... Can't wait to get back home again to you know where:)
