😲 Yep! 'Always something' pretty much sums up the world at the moment. We have plaques too. The beginning of super yacht season being a 1st world plaque. It's a concern when they're sniffing around our end of the world. Still I've got this mornings view to distract me 😊😅

From the land of Hobbiton and great big old trees that move about...It’s not so surprising to find a Moreton Bay fig stretching its legs for a wee walk in the park.

I enjoyed a 5km walk to and from the Urban Eels and Pā site along the river from He Ara Kotahi this morning. It's great to see these tuna (eels) thriving there. #UrbanEels #Tuna #NatureNZ

Why not go out on a limb?That's where the fruit is found! Sweetness is a daring game,In heights above the ground. Risk the bend, the gentle sway,For life's delicious treat. A little leap of faith today...And scoring a free meal is sweet! Inspired by a quote attributed to Mark Twain

Rainbows cannot be chased or captured; they appear on their own terms. Reminding us that life's most beautiful moments are often gifts of spontaneity. The real treasure isn't a fabled pot of gold, but rather the unexpected joy, awe, and treasured memories these fleeting arcs bring to the present.

Beneath the warm, sunlit sky Where painted blossoms gently lie There wakes a soul of gold and black With velvet dust upon its back. A tireless dancer in the breeze She weaves her magic through the trees Unsung worker of the spring With quiet purpose in her wing.

Such a beautiful morning and a beautiful part of this country. Blue Lake, Rotorua. #water #sky #trees #nature #walking #photography #reflections

Blue Lake - there is a mixture of steam clouds rising and swirling around the hills opposite the lake. These hills and clouds are reflecting in the lake. Close to my views are ferns and trees, framing the shot beautifully in my opinion.
