Easter Sunday

 

A splash of colour

... on a grey day.

On the shelf

 Waiting for Easter Sunday.

A solitary mushroom

 A lone 'shaggy ink cap' on my daughter's lawn.

Apparently an edible mushroom.

Bountiful blessing

 I've been a bit off colour this weekend and a young church friend arrived at the door this evening with a freshly baked loaf of bread and some apples from their tree. Feeling blessed.

Out and about

 

Port Chalmers on a grey day.

Making hot cross buns

Before baking 

and after.

 

The strawberries are thriving

 

A misty morning

 

Autumn is here

Espaliered pear tree

 It's going a bit rogue

A serious business.

A cup of tea for Granma please.

 Making his toy purchase.

Another birthday...

 Theo turned 2 

Birthday celebration

 The restaurant brought out a little cake for the birthday girl even though nothing had been ordered. Lighted candle and all 🤩

A sunny aspect

 Over the fence.

Shades of green

 

Weetbix Triathlon

 Part of the cycle leg.

Weetbix triathlon is for primary school children and consists of 3 legs, cycling, swimming and running, not necessarily in that order.

Toys on a road trip

 

Shame

 A sign in the local memorial gardens.

It reads: STOP! stealing the plants.

A sad commentary on society 

Moving day

 Two of these buildings were trucked past our house yesterday 

Relaxing in the playground

 

A blast from the past

 Me in my basketball (netball) uniform in the early '60's. Black stockings gone but tie still there. Uniforms are so different now.

A view from Baldwin Street

 The steepest street in the world. 

Baldwin Street, Dunedin, 

New Zealand.

Taken this time last year.

A feathered family.

 Canada geese (I think) in my sisters yard.

Nearly home.

 Saddle Hill

All in a days work

This morning, off with the old.

 This evening, the new is in place.

I'm being lazy

 Usually I take a wander down and take my own pics of the Silverstream when it is in flood. Today I've opted to take one from the Taieri Community Board page and share it.

Summer this year in New Zealand. 

I'm pretty well over it and with autumn only a couple of weeks away I think we've probably already had the best of it. February is usually a great month - it's a running joke that once the kids go back to school the good summer weather arrives. Not this year.

Chimney demolition

 Now you see it ...

... now you don't.

Cheese galore

 

A sweet treat

 Happy Valentine's Day
