As we see summer disappear here [though you wouldn’t know it today with the sun shining and the temperature hovering at 24%], my thoughts drift back to when the warmer weather heralded the crossing of a threshold in to the budding spring.
When the agapanthus begin to peek out from their buds I know the door is opening to warmth and new life.

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.

My dear Sue…have you not figured it out…I never do anything on purpose. Not even waking in the morning. Everything I try to do on purpose ends up ‘shite’…so I just fly by the seat of my pants these days.

Great idea. A different kind of threshold. A warm and fuzzy kind.
