Saturday Matinee

Conifers at Aotea Lagoon offering a puppet show. I see Punch and Judy type characters performing. What do you see happening in these interesting tree branches?

Feathery Friday

While I was out strolling at the Aotea Lagoon recently there were feathered friends on show

and the sky offered feathery clouds.

Have a restful weekend.

Ironic

When the land you love shakes beneath your feet

and even rocks that look so solid

suddenly can shift because of a greater force, you wonder what is certain about your life anymore.

But the waves will still form and break

and the tides come and go.

The sea air is still tangy and refreshing. The sun warm and the sky blue on days like this one.
A wave surge hits the sea wall and exhilarates you with delight as salt water splashes your face.

It is ironic that nature means earthquakes here in Aotearoa but it is nature that we return to for solace and restoration of spirit and hope.

Wordless Wednesday

But wait….orange too!

While out discovering all the yellow around me I also spotted Orange, bright and zesty.

Iceland Poppies that my mother used to grow when we lived in Wellington during my childhood

Calendula

Yellow

Everywhere my eye has been catching yellow in this early spring we are experiencing.
