Late Rainy Afternoon

Copper bronze reflections on Courtenay Place.

Blue Chandelier

Just playing. I'm allowed sometimes, aren't I? :-)

Blue and the sun

This image reminds me of the sea floor and the sun on water.


Have me
by Carl Sandburg

Have me in the blue and the sun.
Have me on the open sea and the mountains.

When I go into the grass of the sea floor, I will go alone.
This is where I came from—the chlorine and the salt are
blood and bones.
It is here the nostrils rush the air to the lungs. It is
here oxygen clamors to be let in.
And here in the root grass of the sea floor I will go alone.

Love goes far. Here love ends.
Have me in the blue and the sun.

letting my soul run free

I thought you might like this picture. It's been on my Flickr stream for a few months now, but thought I would post it here.

I love this beach. It feels so peaceful and right and good when I'm alone here.

Couch Potatoes

Joshua and Michael on the couch, watching television, and smiling for the camera.

Joshua and his Grandad

At Te Papa

Josh playing dress-ups. Doesn't he look beautiful? These are ones I'm going to store away to embarrass him with on his 21st birthday. I'm such a wicked mother :)




Matt on top of the world. Actually he's sitting next to the Southern Cross, a significant constellation here in the Southern hemisphere.


These shots were taken at Te Papa, our national museum. They have wonderful Discovery Centres for children with all sorts of activities. A great place to spend a few hours with kids.

My Boys

Joshua chilling out.




Matthew looking very surfer dude-ish.

Tree Like a Dancing Wolf

Okay, so I can see a dancing wolf. Maybe it's the drugs I'm on.

Josh on a Log

The kids love the beach. This old dead tree has been the subject of many pictures, and the kids can spend hours playing on it.
