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 moved 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 have the right 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. I joined the MB community on 05 January 2018. Follow me on Micro.Blog at https://micro.blog/miraz .
In the southeast corner of our new property is an attenuation tank 🏡 :
Stormwater attenuation is the storage of excess stormwater during the peak of a storm, followed by controlled release of the stored water.
The rate of release is designed to be lower than the rate of runoff from a site prior to development, effectively mimicking the natural flows from the site.
