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!

Oh man, it may be simple but it hits home, my oldest just moved out (and across country) and I feel a bit like the gorilla there. ;-|

I laughed out loud when I scrolled down and found this little fellow forlorn at the bottom of my screen... I think this is great.. great imagination and title..

Nice framing, it looks a little scared and the long darkness behind it kinda emphasizes that. Good personification and title choice~ My youngest son went off to college last fall, only an hour and a half away but a big change to be on his own.
Firesnuffer
He looks like he's pleading for you to take him in :( Great shot!
BibbyBear
Oh so cute! He really looks scared and lonely and you know what they say...."A hug a day keeps the lonelies away!" so go brush him down of his dust and grime and give him a big hug (and maybe a warm corner of a shelf to sit on too :)
babuci

I like it, wonderful spur of the moment capture...
inshaala
you'll get used to it mate, it has to happen at some point :) Nice shot to portray the message in the title, and the lighting certainly highlights the perceived loneliness. At least you have a banana in hand to eat, they are yummy ;)
