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!

you did loose a little bit with the aperture, but in the long run, I don't think it takes away from the image..do we really care if every detail of her ear is in focus? It's all about her eyes..that's where the story is here.. Well done my friend

as long as we deal with this very good result, the way is insignificant. especially love the freckles making the work so natural and the hair in the wind

Much more stunning since I saw the full face before the half face. A wonderful build up to the next post. Even here, her eyes look "old", you know?
