Gladioli.

Such beautiful flowers, and the white ones are not easy to photograph.

It's either seeing what's to eat or having a wash.

Not a lot to be seen from my back door the other morning.

This is one of the many engines running at the fair.

The Young + The Old.

 This Metz (1909) was at the Steam Fair, it was beautiful and had been so well restored

This is another from a series I took a few weeks ago. I just love the colours and silhouetted hills.

I found this sign lying in an old shed and have deliberately left the wood panels on an angle.

A Duck.

Boring? Maybe - I like the water patterns and colours along with the patterns and the shape of the duck.

This is in the first hour of her life.

Lily and Mum.

Meet Lily.

About an hour old Alpaca - such a gangly wee thing. I'll have more photos later.

Mallard.

It was fascinating watching these ducks washing themselves,it's a very thorough process.

These old fences have a lot of character after being a bit battered over the years.

This is a photo I took several years ago of a drought in NZ.

Well, a young one.

The bees have been very busy in all the flowers around here
