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

A wonderful and loving tribute, I'm sure she would be proud. The rose is very symbolic, in my garden a rose was planted in memory of my mother... it remains today. I think it's an important reminder for any teenagers out there giving their mum and dad a hard time, there will be a day come when you lose them, let there only be kind memories between you.. time is fleeting and it can be gone in the blink of an eye.

The chrome says volumes to me. For the world seems a little less bright since she has been gone.

Am currently trying to buy a bungalow with my Dad for him to live in; he's 80 in August and currently rentin at a stpid ££££ fee. He drives me up the wall sometimes but will be a long time gone, so I want to do my best for him, as he did for me (though I totally failed to appreciate it at the time like most sons!). He texted me the other day to say my grandad would have been 107 today... I guess you never quite get over your parents passing. Once he's settled I shall try and sort my Mum out; that will be more of a battle I think. May need to get the bailiffs in to shift her somewhere suitable :) I will miss them both deeply when they are gone. Lovely image. Steve
