Belted Kingfisher

Usually when we take our camera on a walk, we see no wildlife. Usually when we see a bird flying and try to take a picture it never works out, today was an exception. We arrived down at Hopkins Landing after a long walk and Karen spotted a Belted Kingfisher, who spotted the pair of us and took off like a rocket.

Snap.

Kiwi's are so negative

Factual evidence:

This during an extended four and a half hour Skype session at the weekend, alcohol was involved and mucho talking across the world. I bet now that Microsoft own Skype they will kill this type of freeby off pretty quickly.

Canada Day

It is amazing that a week has gone by, a whole week since the paddle club gave members of the public a chance to go out in a canoe around the bay.

Two years ago, we were members of the public and not just members.

It is amazing that two years has gone by...

Crucil

The new house across the road on Tricklebrook is almost finished, pictures soon.

At the South end of the road, Crucil, a new townhouse complex is underway, eight new single family dwellings in such a small space. We will track the progress here.

Salad Bar

Shopping

We had just arrived back from our walk, we had been shopping, and in the garden a pair of male deer who had been feasting on the salad bar that Karen affectionately calls her garden.

Here, Karen is offering desert, while I creep up behind with some barbecue sauce....
