It seemed completely at home. It flew away and then came back, sat a little closer to me and watched my grandsons playing in the playground. It was quite comfortable with us there. It looks like it's squawking but it wasn't. If it said anything it was I'm ok mate! Just doing a bit of maintenance😂

I've worked with lots of architects but obviously not someone like him. It would've been such an honor. I already look at buildings differently 😍😅

I came across a magpie. It looked to be injured. Then I remembered: Birds spread their wings in the sun—a behavior known as sunning or sunbathing—primarily to warm their bodies, dry their feathers, manage parasites, and help produce essential vitamins. It did this for 20 min. got up and flew away 😂

Thank you🙏 It's a native tree that the native nectar feeders love. At the moment it's only about 2.5 meters high but it's growing quickly and every season flowers more. Eventually when it's closer to 5 meters high it'll be a safe place for the birds to feed and I hope to watch from upstairs😀 ✨🌲✨🐦🐦‍⬛💛🧡

Seeing a kōwhai tree in North London half a world from Aotearoa, Nina Mingya Powles writes, “I breathe yellow, I breathe myself home” “here I would have never breathed an ocean, never held mountains in my hands, except in almost-dreams in which long white clouds drift almost close enough to touch”

Yes! They're rather pretty. Until recently I'd taken them for granted. But because of blue sky photos I've started to look at things differently. I wonder if they were brought to Cape Town by settlers, like ours in New Zealand, or if they are native there?

She is pretty in pink, but it's not doing her standing as a camo cat much good 😂 🌸😺🌸

I have a son, Joshua, living and working in Japan and my granddaughter Ailee is half Japanese. Actually I'm Chatting with her on messenger now 😊 She's 15 and spent 8 years living in our cottage next door to us so we're quite close. I built a castle for Ailee and her pet rabbit left of the slide 🐇🐰

That's them exactly. Kind of living in the moment but still capable of holding a grudge. I have a rescue cat Ziggy, she's older than Molly and a complete introvert. Always unsure of herself. Molly is a Queen and led Ziggy into how to live with humanity. Ziggy now copies Mollies love of box life😄

We have a fairly large range of climate because we're a long thin landmass surrounded by sea. We are the antipodes of Spain and bigger than GB One of the most remote countries on earth 2000 kms from Aussie. I've had a few friends who work on the film sets here. My Aussie family enjoy our temp😊

Wow!😲 That's an extreme range in temperature. 35 would the very highest for Auckland. We average 22-23 in summer and a cold night in winter 6 ish. The South Island has more like yours with 41.6 in Christchurch. With the Southern Alps here You can 🏄and ⛷️ both in one day 😄

😲 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 😊😅

Where I am we've had very mild autumns lately with almost extended summer seasons. Winter was very short too. People were still swimming at the beach down the road right through autumn which is May/June Most of our native trees are evergreen but older historical parts have lots of disiduace trees.

It's amazing how much difference a good nights rest makes. It's nearly 11 pm here now and I'm about ready to hit the sack but not before I put up a couple of pictures here from this afternoon while I was looking after my grandsons. This is their lovely old Japanese Spritz, my friend Luna🐕 😁
