I’m happy to report on two fronts that I’ve reached my 100th blog post and what better way to celebrate than by having my photo essay approved by CNN.com!
Sheep Herding: A dying lifestyle in New Zealand
Shortly after I arrived here, I knew I wanted to submit some kind of story about this farm to CNN and I couldn’t be happier that it was actually published.
With that, I will be moving on this weekend after an amazing two months. I’ll head up north to check out the rebuilding of Christchurch and then go to the famous Marlborough wine region to hang out on a vineyard for about a week. Tough life…I hear ya. After that, on up to the top of the north island to check out some beaches and sail on a tall ship.
Life is good.
Way to go Steph!! Joe is still in shock over you!
Thank you Mary! Joe should have had time by now to get used to my new lifestyle (and I’m still alive out here!!!) haha!
Congratulations, beautiful picture of the sheep and the dog!!! Hug Nanouk

Thanks, Nanouk! There are actually 10 photos on the CNN site…bottom right of the photo you can click through them 🙂
Fantastic! Safe travels! Always wanted to sail on a tall ship…..
Yeah, I can pretend to be a pirate for a day!
Amazing photos – beautiful and desolate…but my favorite is the smiling lamb – too sweet!
Can’t wait to read about the next adventure!!
Congratulations, Steph! I’m delighted but certainly not surprised that CNN values your work so highly. “You’re not just a pretty face, you know!”, my Irish husband would say to you. How wonderful that you are living life to the brim and honing your talents, which are many. Have a ball on that big ship – what an adventure!
I’ve just gone through your photos again. Masterful! Is that a tornado on the ground in one of the photos?
Thank you! No, just an odd rain cloud. The clouds there were so interesting to watch…something different every day!
