Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Hope you have all enjoyed a great week and long weekend. Here are my pics for this week...

1. Red....   I love Red, in my house as an accent colour, in nature, and best of all in my clothing. I received a catalogue from my favourite shoe company and these are a must for me for this Summer..

Red, wedge heeled sandals, love them...

2. Homespace... I love to read and these are just some of my books together with family photos

3. Fence.. . This is the fence around what was a used car dealership....

4. Rock..taken at a local waterfall, this rock was sitting in the middle of the beach..

The Magnolia trees this spring are superb. These are my shadow shots...

Taken in the late afternoon, the owner of the tree very kindly let me on her property so that I could take these shots.

 Enjoy your week...

 As I sit here, about to put up my images for the week, it is pouring with rain, windy, cold and I am just waiting for the thunder and lightning to begin. Although it is officially Spring, we are a long way from experiencing warm, sunny days. After all, Auckland has the reputation for being the city in New Zealand where you can  get four seasons in one day. Weather man tells us that this Spring is going to be very wet...

Taken last weekend, full tide at the beach down the road from our house.

Monday night, on my way home, it was 6.00pm and the sun was just setting. The colour of the clouds was all "peaches and cream" looking.

Tonight, Friday night, at 5.30pm the sky got darker and darker.

Looks like we are in for a rough night weather wise tonight.

Random Pics from August...

Here they are, some pics I have taken over the month and not posted on my blog until now.   Hope you enjoy them .

This was taken last weekend, at the beach down the end of our town. I love the way that he has crossed his wings, and his feet are splayed out. The only reason I got so close was because the wind was blowing on shore and he couldn't hear me.

Went to the Auckland Zoo, and the tiger was awesome. Reaching into his pond and pulling out this buoy with his teeth.

Beautiful Magnolia blossom, I love the soft pink colours.

Taken at Hamilton Gardens, few weeks ago. Archway through from the Renaissance Garden

Three in a row,  where the trains live at Pukekohe train station.
