I went out when it wasn’t raining quite so hard to check on things in this area. There was heaps more rain in the mountains than here so the river was pretty full. Islands of river weed are being washed away (and that’s good).

I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In late August 2025 I will move from Waikawa Beach to Ruakākā near Whangārei in Aotearoa. 100% human (she / her). Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! I believe all beings should have access to clean water, nutritious food and adequate shelter, and that humans are simply one small part of the amazing life on this planet that supports us all: humans, animals, plants.
