The city

 From an 8th floor window.

City skyscape

 

Spring cheer

A lonely pop of colour in a barren garden plot.

A miserable day in the city

 

A nice warm haven

 on a wet winter's day.

Soon to be covered

with 500 or so houses.

 

Turn left

 Through the lane, turn left and you're nearly home.

Cloud watch

 

Pretty in pink

 Camellia 

Colouful mural

 At the main entrance to Dunedin Public Hospital.

Chocolate with a difference.

 Whittaker's bring out a limited edition chocolate a couple of times a year and this was the latest offering. Of course we have to try them all. Did we like it? It was okay 🙃

Cranes

 At the new hospital build in Dunedin. The tallest one will reach a height of 140metres.

Big Valley Takeaways

 Easy tea.

A lonely lineup

 

A sunny corner

 

In the cafe.

 'Blend' in Gordon Road, Mosgiel.

Gorgeous boots

 and they're on sale.

Clouds

 Just on sunset.

Looking west

 The mountain is in the clouds - somewhere.

Through the gate

 The pipe is 'tethered' to the sign.

A new latch

A new chain and hook on the gate to the Silverstream flood bank walk. Truth be told, it's a couple of new gates.

Winter cheer

 These jonquils have been flowering for most of the winter. A lovely splash of colour on a bleak, grey day.

Spring's coming

 I looked after this bush for years, probably about 30, as somehow it ended up split right down the middle. Probably the kids or the dog or a combination of both. This year it has thrived and is growing like Topsy. I always thought it was a daphne bush but it's not and I don't know the name of it. I'm pleased it's thriving but disappointed it's not what I was hoping, daphne has such a lovely scent. But I'll keep it when the bushes round about are cut down soon by son in law. I've nurtured it too long for it to go now. 😊

Painted stone

 I 'hid' my painted stone on the drinking fountain at the playground. Can you see it?

A snow day

 Theo's snowman. I'm cheating today and putting up this pic Theos mum sent us. Too cold to go out if we don't have to, even to get a photo. Schools are out for a snow day.

Where's mine?

 This boy was watching through the window while Sooty had his meal. 

Reaching for the sky

Traffic cones

 Traffic cones at the end of our street. New pipes going in for the new subdivision.

My choice

My great grandmother. I love this photo of her. They were well to do, I think you can tell from the photo she was a gentlewoman.

This was my second choice for the black and white challenge.

Shapes

Does anyone else still have one of these Tupperware balls? The toddlers still enjoy them.

Flip flops

 Or, as we call them in New Zealand, jandals.

A pair for indoors and a pair for the yard. Can you tell which pair is which? 😄 I bought two pair for around $7 several years ago.

 Access to the tap to turn off our water supply.

In the footpath outside the fence.

Cloud

 A moody sky. Looking down the Otago Harbour early one morning from my daughter's place.  From the archives.

9 o'clock

 On a cold Sunday morning in winter.

And twelve hours later.

Far away

 We are watching the Glasgow Commonwealth Games from the other side  of the world, 'far away'.

Up-close

 A cheerful pansy in a winter planterbox in town. There's lichen on the box as well.

Tree

 

A lonely tree in a car park. 

Sorry, a bit blurred, we had cars behind us wanting to exit.
