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.

Lots on. Getting rid of a ‘crazy boarder’.Getting a new one in. Working on an online business with a friend. Trying to get things organised with the house so I can sell. The Daughter got me a Kindle Fire e-reader for my birthday. I knew there was a reason I had her…hehehehehe. I love it so much. ALL those books at my fingertips…what a wonderful world.

Blimey no wonder you haven’t been posting! Well at least you know you’re missed honey, take it easy 🙂
I keep toying with the idea of a kindle, use the phone app when I need a particular book instantly but that’s it so far.

Oh Gilly…get one. It is wonderful. The Daughter said I must tell everyone it is also HD. Movies are awesome on it. And with the kindle fire you can get e-mail, facebook and so on. I have put skype on it so that I use it if I go away and don’t want the laptop to go too. It even has a bloody camera on it. It is like having a mini computer. It even has documents so if you have a moment of inspiration you can write on it. Not that I would use it for a book, but I am sooooo in love.

Jo, Charlie reminds me of my old friend Spudley. If we weren’t thousands of miles apart, I’d say they were related!

Hey Tom…great to see you here. He is a beauty is my boy…if also a bit naughty. He thinks he is a tiger. He is the spitting image of his Mum, except she is grey. But the markings are identical…weird hey !!!

When I first saw the image, I thought he was a tiger too… I have to say that there’s something really endearing about naughty cats. They think they can do it, and, well… do. We really could learn a lot!!!

I just got a kindle HD as an early birthday present for myself, but I haven’t figured out how to use it yet! 😦 Just got to spend some time with it, I guess. Glad you love it…hopefully I will too once I figure it out.
