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

Happy Birthday! May you get loads of well wishes and presents! Do you know that cheetahs can be tamed (somewhat) and that there are cheetah races in South Africa. I've seen some on YouTube - absolutely fascinating. And the cheetah's are like purring house cats. I think they really enjoy the chance to run at top speed. Check it out and enjoy! :-)

What a magnificent creature! Perhaps my favorite African cat. I don't expect it would get along well with the caracal. I home you had a wonderful day.

Knowing that this cheetah is in its natural setting in Africa and not in a zoo makes this image very special. Glad you had a nice day, Carin.

Well is this a proud performance of the cheetah, as if its the king in his domain. And it seems I discover his prey on the right, or it's my imagination because he looks so satisfied. Great to hear you enjoyed your birthday, Carin!

An excellent photo and pose by the cheetah. Not even interested that you were there!

Take 2 ! - so, here it goes again - it's way past your actual Birthday by now, but still within the month of June ;)) and I am happy to read, that you had a super day Carin ... This Cheetah sitting there just like royalty - very much aware of his surrounds and totally in control, simply breathtaking ! always ready to run, jump, pounce or even attack, if and when necessary - the life of a wild animal ... BB I or we, (also Jeff) we love all your animal photography, this must be one of my favourites, thanks for sharing it, would love to travel to see all this for myself.
