Opening Post

This is my opening post. I don’t know where this blog will lead but I’m hoping that it will supplement my portfolio of images on my main website www.paulkettel.com with more current and frequent examples of my work.

The image for this post is of a New Zealand native called a Fantail or Piwakawaka in Maori. These are delightfully playful birds, which seem to dance around you while walking through bush. This bird was photographed at Wenderholm park just north of Auckland. A recent storm had left the beach strewn with seaweed and driftwood, making for perfect feeding conditions for the fantail.
