wet and wordless wednesday

Very wet today. Photos from beach walk Easter Saturday morning and Tuesday's sunrise!

wordless wednesday

It has rained all day - and I didn't take any photos, these are from another rainy day!

It has been a year since Christchurch was devastated by the 22-02-2011 quake. People have been throwing flowers into the Avon River and putting flowers into the cones that are all over the city. I even saw some large dahlias in cones beside some road works here today. A nice way to remember what has happened to the Garden City.

PS I've just read this blog post about a trip to Christchurch that described the post-quake city very well.

wordless wednesday

Sparrows joined us at the picnic table while we were having fish'n'chips for my birthday dinner at Mapua wharf tonight.

(almost) wordless wednesday

Taking a leaf out of some other bloggers books, and trying for wordless posts - sometimes it all seems too complicated, this should be easy! (Now I really must stop talking!)

Photos of the full moon taken tonight during the ad breaks of Downton Abbey's Christmas Special!
