I love simplicity and silence. I enjoy taking photos of birds. I live at Waikawa Beach in New Zealand, and strive to be an actively decent human being. In July 2025 I expect to move to Ruakākā near Whangārei. Apparently the bizarre is normal now. Now 70, I'm super happy to be getting old — it means I'm not dead yet! Proudly a Free Being, eschewing the arbitrary. Practitioner of Positive Solitude. 100% human (she / her). I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018.

DOC 'cautiously optimistic' for New Zealand's rarest bird, the fairy tern | RNZ News 🐦 :
With fewer than 40 tara iti left, every nest, egg, and chick was critical to the survival of the species. …
Tara iti bred at only four locations in New Zealand … [including] the Waipū and Mangawhai sandspits in Northland.
Waipū and Mangawhai are just a few kilometres away from our new home at Ruakākā.
