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

Congratulations with your son's birthday Carin. May he also be blessed with good health in abundance to enjoy many more birthdays in our Lord Jesus Christ presence. Superb capture and dedication. I quite like the openness of Johannesburg zoo. God bless.

They make a cute couple and a wonderful birthday wish for Andrea. The height marks on the wall are a nice touch.

Excellent shooting Carin, and a HB to Andrea and Werner.

A fab and funny photo, Carin Thankyou so much and very best wishes to Werner too! These are delightful creatures, and this really brings home their height.

Such a great shot!! I like this view of them popping out to say hello. While I was looking at the giraffes, part of my brain was noticing their letter box was quite high on the wall. Suddenly I kicked into gear and realized it must be a trough for treats. LOL!

Love those tall barns they have! Wonderful shot of the giraffes, makes me think I need to get to Woodland Park Zoo soon, it's been too long. Great dedi for Andrea (who is fairly tall in her own right!)

Sweet picture. We fed a very small baby giraffe at a drive-through park once, and I'll never forget the gentleness and tenderness as its lips softly brushed against the palms of our hands. So I have a real soft spot for giraffes. Lovely!

Clever dedication for the birthday girl, Carin. Other than their height, all I know about giraffes is that they have no vocal cords.

What a nice, tall house! Cute mailbox too! I love what they've done with the place! I know that's not a mailbox, but in giraffe-land, it would be: I mean, where else are they going to receive their monthly subscriptions of Tall Housekeeping or their daily issues The Grassland Daily Telegraph...(They have a great movie review section, as giraffe-avant-garde cinema is all the rage in some areas.) OK...I digress... This is a fantastic shot. I love the height markers, and is that an ibis in the front yard? The colors are fantastic: the greens, giraffe-colors, and the reds all play so well together, and the expressions on their faces are priceless; it looks like they're expecting company (probably for two birthday parties) and the little one is asking: "Are they here yet?" This is brilliant, and a belated Happy Birthday to Andrea and Werner.

How cute and cool is that. Also such fun they peep out to wish a happy Birthday. Belated good wishes for your eldest son, Werner, Carin. God bless.
