The 2017 Zealandia calendar is now available and it's filled to the brim with gorgeous nature photography, including my enthusiastic mating kākā photo! This year, the images came from the 2016 "Spirit of Zealandia" photo competition, judged by National Geographic and Photo Ark photographer Joel Sartore. There is a wide mix of bird photos, other critters, plants, and landscapes, all taken within the Sanctuary valley. The accompanying stories were lovingly crafted by volunteer Sanctuary Storyteller and Radio NZ journalist, Lynn Freeman. The calendar itself was researched, designed and edited by the Sanctuary Storyteller team. It's a pleasure to convene this team of talented and dedicated people. The calendar is a true labour of love and we are all glad to be able to use our talents to support Zealandia in a tangible way.
The calendar makes a perfect Christmas present and all proceeds go directly to supporting Zealandia's vision.
I’m returning to Vintage Village Art Gallery in Raumati Beach with framed native bird prints and lots of TinyArt, on display from 27 July to 31 August.
