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.

lovely shelters jo, i so much prefer simple structures 🙂
Thanks Angeline – if you ever get the chance I really recommend Tahiti. But you need to leave the tourist areas and go where the people are. They are so friendly and once you get out and about there is so much charm and beauty to be found.
Thanks Vivian – it is a quote from my favourite TV show – Supernatural. I always wanted to use it somewhere…hehehe.
Glad you liked the shelters…they made me feel good when I saw them.

Well Jo these are certainly different.. the top one.. on stilts.. now fine on a nice warm day nice and airy 🙂 .. But would hate to think of being in a rainstorm and that ground starting to slide.. The second one.. well now that seems to have been built in its own little island.. And the Third all set for a quick get away.. Hope the engine in good working order too! 😉
great photos Jo..
Hope you keeping well and had a great weekend.. Hugs to you. ~Sue xx
