Bread


I once saw a women throwing out her old bread on to the berm, I thought this was a generous humanitarian act of kindness to the local bird population. As I watched she finished distributing the doughy morsels and then walked back across the road to her house. I am intrigued as to why she didn't just feed them on her own large lawn. Was she afraid of birds?, did she fear her cat may devour the birds?, did she not want them messing up her lawn? I'll never know
This picture is not of that incident. It's our back lawn, This was a test shot for a new wee point and shoot camera I had just bought. The results are quite pleasing, to me.

Pudding


Buried under all the fruit and flower salad is the first pavlova I've ever baked, room for improvement I feel.
The ocassion was the birthdays of my dear friends Kirstin and Grae.

More Auckland snaps




I was in Auckland just before Christmas. My wife, Helen was having eye surgery.
