  Te Rerenga Wairua

  Only 100 k or so from our place.
  PM me Joe, maybe pop round for a beer or few..

  Another pic from your delightful part of the world that's probably even closer.
  That's real nice of you Steve, though I have to fess up that I arrived back home last night. I really should have gotten motivated to post stuff on the go, but it seemed too much like work the one time that I attempted it.

  Your fine mobile deserves a spot in the paddock (the location on OruruRd) at the show.

  Thanks Sofie, it's actually my brother's, he's owned it since he was an apprentice, more than 40 years. Here it is on a damp morning a few days ago somewhere between Whangamomona and Taumaranui.

  That pohutukawa, which reputedly never flowers. Zoom for close-up.

  More significantly, a bit to the right, Te Rerenga Wairua.

  Farmer Green, while I respect your right to refer to yourself in the third person, when you mention swimming in the Manawatu in that way it does rather sound like an out of body experience.

  feed them babies

  and run

  Wow indeed.
  Years ago I borrowed a library book by a North American bird photographer of some renown, who mentioned that sparrows, despite being common, were among the toughest to photograph, simply because they turn shy the moment they sense they're being watched, His book featured a shot similar to your first one that he was pretty happy to have got, but nothing like that amazing second pic.

  And Cunliffe is no Boycott . . . how far can we stretch an analogy?

  So is he at the bottom of Huka Falls now, politically speaking?
