This week we have had our fire on every night, the coldest night the temp got down to 3celsius ( sorry not sure what that is in farenheit), and although we don't get any snow in our part of New Zealand it gets pretty cold.
What better way to show Wintery Wednesday than with images from inside our fire..
Today was my day to go up to the Auckland Botannical Gardens and take some photos, I know I keep saying it, but there is never a trip to the gardens that is not enjoyable and different.
When I left home it was foggy and cold and I was expecting it to be the same at the gardens, my thoughts were that there would be lots of watery cobwebs and moody foggy landscapes. How wrong could I be, there was no fog, and it was cloudy and warm with no signs of watery cobwebs and moody foggy landscapes. Instead I found the last signs of Autumn.....
Winter has arrived, we have had our fire on for the last few days as the cold snap has arrived. The days are sunny, but very, very cool. The sun is weak, and it is dark earlier and when we get up in the morning it is dark. Walking Max is now done later, so that I am walking in daylight.
One positive with all the cold weather, is that it makes for some lovely photos. We get quite a bit of mist and fog , and when it is really cold we do get a frost. I have decided that once a week, through Winter and on a Wednesday, I will post some images of Winter in my part of the world.
Today, at 7am the sun was just starting to rise, and the sky above our house was this pastel pink. Very pretty , and then as I was driving to work there was a low mist hanging over the fields, making for a very nice landscape.
Hope you enjoy, until next week.

For years I have had a love affair with stationery... Yes, you heard me stationery.
I don't want to brag or make anyone jealous or anything,
The theme for this weeks Snap It is Black & White. My friend at work very kindly lent me her son to practice my portrait photography skills on.

Very late on Saturday afternoon we decided to drive to the forest and collect some pine cones for the fire.
A typical Autumn afternoon, warm in the sun but very cool in the shade.
All through the forest, on the side of the road there are clumps of New Zealand native grasses called Toetoe ( pronounced: toytoy), they have these wonderful white fluffy fronds. They were introduced from South America and are closely related to pampas grass.
