A collection of pet and animal photos

If you like animals please check out some photos of mine I put together for a job application. I just hope I get noticed as there are so many people out there looking for this kind of job.

Update: had a Zoom interview then an in person interview but never heard back. Pretty rude of them but seems that is the way these days. I didn't like the conditions they were proposing (here work your ass off in a windowless building for 12 hours 3 days in a row for an undisclosed amount of money). I knew as soon as they said that, that it would be difficult for me to maintain the outlook I need to take great photos for that period of time. I probably showed this in my body language!! 

Oh my those pastries look AMAZING!!!

This Dream Tiny House is awesome!

Such a little treasure she flitted in, hung around a while then was off again.

Her downy feathers caught the light 
as they floated gently around her like a little puffy cloud. 
When she turned, her yellowy-white bib was quite clear 
the distinctive neck line where her feathers turn dark. 
As she flew away her tail showed off two sets of white feathers 
with dark ones either side. What a little treasure! 

Ka kite! Nga mihi nui.

Yesterday I ventured high into the forest behind my house. I was sitting still when a little fluttering caught my peripheral vision. A baby miromiro (tomtit) landed on a branch quite close to me. I wondered if this fledgling had ever encountered a human before! We checked each other out. Such a rare and sweet encounter, I felt very blessed. No more tripping around for a while except maybe to the forest with a better camera!  

Edit: months later an adult miromiro visited the garden ... link to story on Flickr here: Miromiro on Flickr

Sky Waka Journey

Thanks to my awesome Mum I spent much of Sunday on a train trip to National Park then a fantastic ride on the Sky Waka before lunch in the clouds. What a cool trip! Here's a sped up clip from up the Sky Waka. Woo hoo!
