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.

How wonderful. Thank you for reminding us northerners that there is such a thing as spring, while our leaves turn color and flutter to the ground!

wonderful. 🙂 Ilike how the closets and farthest trees seem to have the upper branch alignment – also like the green to the back and side – 🙂

Hahahha! Ta da!!! Sorry for being mia – it’s so hot here and I’m trying to stay cool, so I am not in front of the pc much. Also, I have yucky back muscle spams and I can’t sit for too long either, so that sucks.
I used a Topaz lab plugin called Clean 3. It gives the cartoon effect and I am glad you liked it. 😀
Take care hon. ♥ Hugs ♥
