I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

I must say, I think I like the humble little ladder the best. 🙂 All great shots, though.
It is just so many things Gilly. The walkways are filled with life and that very thing makes it serene and peaceful and as I wander along it I feel my shoulders lower, and my breath slow and the world seems to disappear in the caw caws of the seagulls and the jammering of the ducks as they wrestle for breadcrumbs. The sight of a heron resting on a branch, or a grandad lapping up the sun while his grandson runs laughing along its banks reminds me to strive to be at peace – with myself, and others.
Well this could go on forever…maybe I shall I just do a post of the estuary…all its little bits and pieces to show everyone else why I love it.
