I was born in Zimbabwe on 03/06/88. My family, consisting of parents, older brother and sister, migrated to South Africa when I was six months old. We moved back to Zimbabwe six years later, to help my grandparents on their farm - a career change for my father.
After a measly eighteen months we upped sticks and went farming on our own. This led us to Kwekwe, in the heart of Zimbabwe, to farm tobacco! Borrowdale farm which is part of the "Midlands Black Rhino Conservancy" is where we settled . This was the most incredible experience, living with such an abundance of wild life ........... of which we became a part of during the school holidays! Due to the "land redistribution policy" we had no option but to move on.
10th November, 2001 saw us arrive in New Zealand with our former lives packed into a suitcase each, ready to start our new lives. Our first three years were spent on the South Island and I nearly froze!!!!!!! A great employment opportunity for my father had us move up to the North Island. I now live on a farm just outside Matamata aka "Hobbiton" (defrosting).
Yep that should sum it up ha!

I really would have believed that they were black pearls, because I've never seen anything like this before (never seen black pearls either LOL). Wonderful and clear focused shot, mate! And the background complements the subject as a fitting glove!

Excellent shot, composition and crisp focus. Techs are right on. Well done. My only nit is I find the out of focus part of the pod a little distracting. I would have closed about 1 or 2 stops (f/5 or f/5.6) in order to get the complete pod in focus, because it looks like you have the background distance to still have an OOF DOF. Just my humble opinion. Still a winner for me.

Wonderful macro, just perfect. Seems like the kind of thing that'd be mundane to the untrained eye, but you've made it very interesting.
