Roast Chicken

On Friday I visited friends in Ness Valley (Clevedon) and couldn’t resist this shot.  Had the door all lined up in my sights and just as I was about to ‘click’, a very, very large pig and this chook wandered into the composition and just stood there looking at me.  Fortunately the pig wandered off, but as for the chook … I can almost smell the sage and onion stuffing

There wasn’t mush room for rain…

While I was dog-minding Charlie at my friend’s house during Waitangi Weekend, we chanced upon this wondrous sight while out walking in St John’s Bush.  I didn’t have my phone or camera with me, and as rain looked imminent, I finished our walk and had to collect the camera and walk all the way back to get the photo.  I knew they would be spoiled if it rained.  Isn’t nature spectacular?
