Christchurch is my home - now known around the world for the earthquakes which devastated the city, and many of the lives of the people who live here. The rebuild has been very slow, and many people are still fighting for insurance etc. We were lucky and only fought for 5 years to get our home repaired. I love living here - we have the beaches, rivers, mountains and forest (bush!) within easy reach. I love walking, and combine this with photography, especially landscapes birds and plants. I belong to the NZ Nature Photography Club and really enjoy their meetings and field trips as they are as far as I know the only non competitive photography club. I also love gardening and reading, and am now a fully retired teacher. I've loved being a blipper for nearly 9 years now, and during tough times it's great to do something I enjoy, to give strength for the various challenges in life.
I love the comments from all the round the world and think it's amazing that one photo I take can be seen in so many places round the world by people I feel I know through their comments and photos even though we will probably never meet.
Thank you for visiting my journal, I love visiting yours.
