Hi, My name is Mary Joyce, and I live in the Queenstown area of the Central Otago region in the South Island of New Zealand. I have a true love of walking, hiking and climbing. Also Nature Photography and Writing.
I love the mountains and the lakes and feel 'at home' when I'm on them or near them, or on the tracks around them. Nothing like getting away from civilization (as much as I can), and have a fine, coolish, (not too cold) sunny day (and not too hot) and plenty of time to just relax and enjoy the great outdoors and to photograph God's wonderful beauty of the natural world. I love anything to do with flora and fauna. And always have.

One of the best things I did was to join 'Nature Watch NZ'. (I joined 14th.Nov. 2010.) It's great to be able to know the names of the flora and fauna and to learn about them. Makes it so much more interesting. A big 'thank you' to everyone who's helped to identify my obs. And also it's nice to be able to do the same in return (when I can, on the ones that I know).
Naturewatch NZ is now finished. (I had 1 month under 3 years with them). Then we 'joined' with the global iNaturalist community i.e. iNaturalistNZ. I joined on 4th.Oct.2013 and cont. on with my Observations there.

In the 'Journal' Section - (typed in green) and which is below 'Your Profile' (typed in black), you will see the 'Queenstown Gardens' Project that I helped with, and enjoyed doing.

That's it for now.
Take care
Mary
