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

Oh my what a beauty, the lions I see are usually at zoo's and usually being lazy and boring and snooring away when I go by them. Love the eyes. Sending this one to a buddy.. :) He doesn't get on here much to comment, so I send him stuff to check out from time to time. Have a nice Sunday~

absolutely a beauty!
Charberry
Wonderful capture. The only zoo I ever enjoyed visiting was the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Ramona, CA. They have natural areas for the animals that is like their habitat originally. The vet care is interesting there because they have to chase them down and capture them. The people are on a small train to view the animals, in other words, we are the ones in the cage, not the animals, as it should be.

Charberry - this is not a zoo animal either. The lions are wild and roam freely in the park. The only "odd" thing is that they are fed once a week. There are no antelope etc. so they can hunt. I too hate zoos and animals in cages!

wonderful lioness portrait! RS

Stellar in every way photographically possible in this wonderful portrait, Carin! A noble and beautiful cat, but she could do without the chin beard.

I'm not a real lion lover as I like the prettier cats more but this is a fabulous shot. She is in amazingly good condition too
