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

The contrasting colors works perfectly in this capture Carin.

Enjoy the time off - take a swim for example! I like this - DOF and detail. With the South-Easter pumping, the pool is no so inviting here. Enjoy! Clive

Lovely soft colors and focus in this shot of the mauve native-to-South Africa agrapanthus, Carin. (It's been so long I almost forgot your name.) I am looking forward to seeing your smiling avatar and comments in my gallery again. I've noticed it in other member's galleries.

Lovely shot Carin. And what is the "can't afford to not work" bit. I hope it's not what I think. If you had a heart attack from overwork would that company go on without you ?. I'm sure they would find two people to replace you and go on. It's something worth thinking about because I learnt loyalty to a company is ok but doing the work of two people isn't. You have only one life to give and many companies will use it up and spit you out if they can and then just find some more bunnies to replace you. We are here for a good time not a long time so don't lose sight of whats real :).

I love asparagus, which has NOTHING to do with these beauties, and I've never seen these blossoms before, either; but I actually recognized that two different blossoms vied for space in my brain and I'd originally written this comment in reference to asparagus blossoms. Don't ask how asparagus can blossom and stand tall enough to utilize your pool as a backdrop. Funny how that works. But anyway WOW! WOW! This rocks. I love the pin-sharp details and the sense of color. Purple is my favorite color, which is probably not surprising, given my whole Leo-like nature, according to those who are into that zodiac stuff. I really like the delicate, fluted shapes of these blossoms and the background of the pool...everything works so perfectly here. Really well done! I love this! Do they have a scent? And now that I've got asparagus on the brain, I should probably go shopping for some tomorrow.
