Women’s bodies are so freakin problematic. Are we attractive enough? Did we do our hair right? Are we showing too much flesh? How much is too much?
And back here in NZ, the very word “vagina” provokes complaints.

Orua Bay, Awhitu Peninsula
Oh Jack, what beautiful pictures! Particularly love the toetoe on the beach.
Can someone remind me why I'm living in this earthquake-riddled, dictator-infested, ruddy swamp??
What are house prices like in Orua Bay?

Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.Soft fists insist on
Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,Even the paving.
Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes. WeDiet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, askingLittle or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!from Mushrooms , by Sylvia Plath.
This morning, after the deluge, that's all my garden has to offer! A resurgence of autumn.

So happy for Valerie Adams. How must she feel, though? It’s not snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, it’s forcing defeat to regurgitate victory after it’s been eaten and partly digested….phthhhhh….
Um. I hope they can give Val some kind of fancy ceremony to make things right.

Mustelids are very speedy and very stealthy, as so much NZ wildlife has found!

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Hebe,
Lilith, I should have stopped as I passed the bulls and piano most days they were in town, but your photographs make up some for that. I keep going back to them.
Aw, thanks Hebe. It’s not always possible to do everything!
Yes they certainly were captivating to a wide range of people. If ever a city needed more public art, it’s Chch, now.

Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to JacksonP,
thanks for posting these here Lilith. They really are great.
It's a pleasure Jack, and thank you. I figured better these, than more pictures of rain. :-)

St Asaph St. Sightseers and one of the few remaining older buildings. What a mongrel town....

Time to go home, back through the scarred city. Madras St.
