With or Without Gates.

These were taken on the way home from work this morning, and I can't decide which one I like better so have uploaded both.

Tigridia.

We saw this beautiful flower at the nursery, and just had to have it!

Fantasyland!

This is a close-up of part of the old log.

The Other Way.

This is looking in the opposite direction towards the Tararua Mountains, which in winter are covered in snow.

My Backyard ....

.... well, the farmer next doors back yard .... he's kindly said I can tootle round it on my bike and photograph whatever, love it!!

Please note, we finally have a beautiful, fine warm day ...... how many more will we be blessed with .......

Clothesline Boyd.

I couldn't believe seeing Boyd launch himself up to the bars on the clothes hoist, then climb to the top while I was hanging the clothes out. He did have to be rescued ........

The Two Boys.

Sunshine, warmth, no wind, a great day to hang the washing out ...... minus the washing basket .....

Morning Tea.

I have been checking through some of my recent photos, and noticed that this dragonfly has a wee moth in it's mouth. I'm quite pleased with this capture.

Boredom .......

This was the only thing that stayed still in the gale winds we're still having!

Steam Train.

What a beautiful sight going past our gate, hopefully this will be a regular weekend visitor.

Another Sunset.

I've almost forgotten what these look like, the weather here really has turned to custard! How I wish for global warming .......

Slideshow...

Many thanks to Zen Tiger from NZ Conservative for the slide show of older photos on the right hand side of this page :)

The Wind Died ......

....... for two minutes .......

Be Back Soon ......

....... when this wind finally dies! We've had weeks and weeks of gales, I'm so sick of it !
