"I've been teaching myself bird photography for a couple of years now. I usually try to zoom right in on the subject and move around so that I can get rid of any distracting twigs or leaves that might cover the subject or create unwanted shadows. Lately I've been thinking sometimes it's good to put a bit of habitat in, especially when it has such beautiful colours as this winter tree just starting to bud up.

Jude Dickens
William has carried out painting for me in two properties. He is very professional and reliable, and he works quickly and carefully. I am very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend him.
Mark Derby
I want to thank William Tran for the great job of getting my bathrooms and kitchen painted within four days. I am very happy and will recommend William’s company when I hear of someone who is in need of painting their houses.
John Piercy
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Zebra Painting Ltd for the superior interior painting job that was performed on my house. I would like to direct my gratitude and appreciation especially to William Tran. My decision on choosing Zebra Painting Ltd was based on William’s professionalism, knowledge of his trade and the confidence in convincing me that he would make sure that I will be satisfied with the results when the work was completed, and he was right.
I certainly will recommend William to my family and friends. Thank you again for doing such an excellent job.
Jennifer Thompson
Excellent job and very pleased with the result of the work. William has made such an amazing finish. Many thanks.
Christine Smith
I wanted to especially to express my thanks to William who was always helpful and went beyond his job to do some minor repairs around the house. He was very patient with me when I couldn’t decide on the paint colour and he showed me some colour charts and I narrowed it down to two colours that I liked and he had colour samples painted on the wall so I could see the comparison which helped me select the paint colour.
In short, Zebra Painting Ltd did an excellent job and the house and garage look great and I would definitely recommend your company to my family and friends.

Peepo - "A couple weeks ago we adopted Benjamin Button, now called Peepo. He has been a delight and a half, to say the least, and has grown so big in such a small amount of time! Slowly, he has adjusted to his new home and is now a superb older brother to his little sister, Namnam. The staff at the SPCA were super helpful throughout the entire adoption process, even giving us tips on how to introduce our new kittens. Suffice to say they are now best buddies."
Lock-down can be a little boring so to keep amused I am asking you to post an interesting or favourite picture.
Mine is the Baring Head lighthouse near Wellington.
It is a rugged and beautiful spot, and the light was just right for this picture.
Post a picture and tell us a little bit about it.

There are 500,000 people in the region and if 85,.000 text ONESIE to 3181 to donate $3, that would be an incredible $255,000, the cost of a new ambulance.
