    Sparrakeke?

    Sparrows in the flax

    Shouldn't this example of freeform high rise living
    be on the Unitary Plan thread?

    Gave me a wee tern...

    Gulls overhead!

    Gulls?
    Phew!
    I thought that 'bottom' one was an outtake from
    the penguin version of Labyrinth ...

    We used the Q’s birthday to go to butterfly creek. There were, surprisingly, butterflies.

    ARACHNOPHOBIA WARNING.

    The next post contains hairy legs, of a scary kind.

    A plague of locusts… well one of them.

    Beautiful butterflies Jackson, and enviable tui-motion Jos!

    More swarms of sparrows yesterday on our inorganic rubbish admiration walk - not quite as pretty as they are in the flax....

    I would too if I had laid that. Whatever hatches out of that is always going to be trouble.

    I especially like the way your tui has pecked out it's take-over map of Oz-

    Yes I saw that too Islander, they'll claim anything they can get their hands on. If the tui are onto them they will alert the rest.

    What an amazing collection of images – glorious!!! Congratulations you lot – what a joy and I’ve been missing it!

    Here is a late-coming image of mine from when I was in Christchurch a week or so ago – so still Autumn in the strictest sense. Road works are emblematic of what is going on there at present: where ever you are they are there and many others loom up everywhere to trap and toy with the sensibilities and sense of direction of the unsuspecting traveler. Gangs are working eleven hour days if the sign displayed by this lot is anything to go by: starting early in the morning and finishing under spot lights well after dark. The noise and vibration made by this one just outside where I was staying was bone-shaking. We had an aftershock while I was there – a mere 3.8, but it made things rattle. It was nothing to the road works. Has to be done though, so GOOD. Ah yes, and it snowed! I really knew I was alive that week!

    Afterthought - orange road cones and hi-viz vests to match the colour of the season...

    Iconical one might almost say,
