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

Super pic! But what a disaster, hope you heal quickly!

Excellent portrait! I'm very sad about your accident!!

Beautiful shot and dedi; happy birthday Harry! As far as your toe, they don't do much with a broken toe other than tell you to not move it. I broke mine a few years back (tripped on the carpet on the stairs) and while it hurt like heck for a couple of days it wasn't so bad that I couldn't walk. Hopefully you'll be fine soon!

A Happy day to Harry! Love the close up and personal view of this little fellow. His pose is great! ;) Have broken all my toes and as MrsRatbag stated they don't do much. At best they tape them together and call it good...lol! Not aware of when your leaving, but on a positive note, toe's heal quickly enough for you to get around. Just don't stub it on anything once your up and going. ;)

I'm very sorry for your misfortune, dear Carin! I hope that the big toe is not broken, but just bruised! You've already done X-rays to see the situation? I hope you feel well soon! A hug! :)

A most lovely and colorful image for your friend Harry's birthday. I hope he has a wonderful day. I hope that your toe gets better soon.

Cool little birdie, graciously posing in anticipation of worldwide notoriety. Outstanding focus, color, patterns and textures in this, a highly appreciated birthday dedication from my dear talented friend from across the Atlantic Ocean. Thank you so very much; I will treasure it for millenia. I assume it's psychological, but I really do feel one year older than yesterday. Extremely sorry that you broke your toe. Life can be so hazardous. And, sorry, but I can't offer any more advice than has already been put forward by the other commentors. Hope your pain dissipates soon and that you're all the way back to complete health, Carin!

What a beautiful picture, colors and Weaver. Hoping for you, dear Karen, the pain goes away quickly, and you will have recovered completely, before you travel. Wishing you also a happy 2011, lots of love, my friend. And thank you for your such kind words, you are so very sweet!

Beautiful capture Carin. Love these colors. Take care of that toe - you don't want to be hobbling around over here, in the ice and snow. Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! Dana
