"The White Faced Heron, was the bird that really set me off and into Bird Photography. A fantastic hunter, and full of grace and stealth, these birds are fantastic to watch. The White Faced Heron led me to the late great Geoff Moon, who was one of the worlds best Bird Photographers. Fortunately Geoff lived in New Zealand! What a gentleman, conservationist and mentor he was.
It was Geoff who stirred my passion for nature, and birds in particular.
Today observing this White Faced Heron at Petone's Hikoikoi Reserve, took me back to my roots. This particular bird didn't disappoint either, taking crab after crab, through guile and instinct, and at speed!"

Storage Ideas For The Bathroom

Rita Angus Retirement Village

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.

Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.
