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!

Awesome portrait my young friend. The DOF and the focus is dead on. Not to mention what a pretty bird it is. I used to have a couple of nymf parakites i think they are called...but then i got a cat...siiiiigh. I used to love having birds even though they made such a racket....and also how they always managed to poop on ones head. #:o/ Anyway...bla bla bla...i have too much stuff to do today so i cant ramble on forever. I would just like to say that i absolutely loved your last upload even though i didnt get around to comment on it. I gotta go to New Zealand...and you wanna come to Scandinavia....hmmmm.....maybe we could swap homes for while, LOL. Have a great wednesday Kai!!!! #:o)
