    Just the one. But the rain earlier this week should mean more soon.

    Cos snow here this time of year is about as incongruous as your drought-not-breaking raindrops. 9am and it was already melting that fast....

    You'll need to get out there and surreptitiously water the secret spot then.
    Looks like we have the makings of a Capture Meal here:
    Porcini and Walnut risotto supplied by the south and Gibsorne.
    followed by
    Flaming peach coloured sorbet topped with preseved pears supplied by Auckland sunset and Chinese snowfall and Gudrun's pantry.

    I don't think it would be possible to be surreptitious in that particular spot!

    Dont cars look kinda creepy under snow?

    Maybe it's because I dont see them very often...

    Looks like they're hiding, and ashamed that they have been spotted...

    On the riverbank -
    pukekos, a heron too?
    have tracked the falling tide.

    First glance - none of those look like heron tracks - all much smaller birds-

    And at second glance?

  • Islander, in reply to ChrisW,

    Possibly...I'm used to kotuku prints, quite a bit larger.
    Also, kotuku-moana/cattle egret/little egret (different birds) make those kind of prints- and they are in the range of pukeko-

    have to say, first glance I saw shadows of fence posts and a barbed wire fence...

    More frustrating than creepy. Gotta get the snow off before it freezes solid (not a problem this time, but December through to February its essential), and then when it thaws it leaves the car filthy - dusty climate + air pollution + precipitation = endless appreciation for my local carwash and its water blaster.

    S'pose I could try and revive the spring thread. This was an especially welcome sight considering my neighbour two floors down was found dead last night. Didn't know him well, but did share a beer and a chat on a few occasions, interesting bloke, big heart. 55 is kinda young.

    the game's afoot...

    pukekos, a heron too?

    ...or little people with these thongs on...

    (I always wanted to carve 'FLIP' and 'FLOP' on my Jandal© soles),,
    but have baulked at introducing more visual signal pollution to
    natural areas - the literal to the littoral, if you will...

    (hmm, memo for next election:: two pairs rubber stamped sole shoes, with ingenious ink feed socks (natural waterbased biodegradable ink, natch!), one with cloven hoofs impression. t'other with a National logo walking side by side through the streets... so long, Spring Heel John! )

    Grays allegory...

    first glance I saw shadows of fence posts and a barbed wire fence…

    me too...
    gotta get out of the Socrates' Shadow Puppet cave more often...

    ...off to the mini vintage market - cnr Barbadoes and Kilmore
    Book Fridge site, opp old Piko/now YogaBase, today (11 - 2pm sat 23).
