Facebook was a sanity-saver for me during the quakes (or at least once we had electricity back), as was PAS. I'm newly on Twitter, and I love it there too. They're all just tools for making and maintaining connections. At their best, social media enlarge and invigorate my world. It's all about the peeps.

Islander, so pleased you're triumphing over the germs. xx
Jos, you're falling down on the labelling a wee bit! What are these lovelies? And these? Your public demands to know! ;-)
PS love the onion-flower sandwich, too! -

Shag under water…
Among many wonderful pictures, this one is extraordinary.

What a wonderful story, thank you! :-)

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Yeah, those are definitely baby coots, with the red and yellow. From a distance they look freshly mauled.
Baby pukekos are all black and have goofy-looking legs and feet . -

Looks like Mars, Biobbs!

St Martins this morning. There were flowers.

old dried Camellia flowers
Wow, Jos, that is a particularly stunning shot. Reminds me of some of Irving Penn's still lifes. I had one of his wilting poppies on my wall for many years. He was also good with rotting fruit. :-)
ETA: also loving Jack's camp pics and Jackie's happy doggies. All very springlike. :-)

I voted for Rifleman because it didn't have many votes. Neither does the Mohua/Yellowhead, possibly because so few people will have seen it. They're rare and endangered. There's one on the $100 note, which is also rarely seen by many of us.
Riflemen/Titipounamu are our smallest bird at 8cm and 7g, smaller and rounder than really seems feasible. They're like tiny feathered spheres that dart around and sing. They used to be on the money too.

OnPoint: Because Statistical Rigour, in reply to Hebe,
Y’know Lilith that they have to kill the hamlet to save it
How much more Orwellian can things get?
On tonight’s TV1 news Paraka quoted: “It’s widely agreed that post-earthquake changes to Chch’s schools are necessary”. Love that passive voice. Who is doing all this agreeing? And like it’s out of her hands, nothing to do with her.
Sorry, not meaning to derail the thread. It’s just all so insane.
Be great if the govt would let the teachers get on with teaching the kids and stop all this fiddling and meddling and pointless testing.
