A break in the weather...





So, while it's been an exciting weekend for us kiwis there hasn't been alot of action in getting out an about with my camera. This one I happened to snap before starting work last week, I couldn't resist taking a shot of the break in the skies between the grey clouds and the blue sky - but then again Spring for us kiwis is like four seasons in one day so scenes like this are pretty typical.

There has been alot of other action though, if you're a rugby freak like I am and have been keeping up with the World Cup then you'd know that NZ are into the semi finals now after beating France this morning with a whopping score of 62-13. Next weekend we are up against South Africa so no doubt that will be another exciting game.

Hope your're having a great weekend like we are :-)

Nice to find another kiwi blogger. The weather here in Welly is just awful. Enjoyed the game this morning and looking forward to the semis.
Found you from Magical Mystical Teacher's website.

Beautiful photograph. Congratulations on your rugby team. One of my running routes goes right by a rugby field. It looks like a pretty rough game but fun.

I like that contrast of the sunny blue sky and those menacing clouds.

And isn't it great that we didn't have to get out of bed at an unearthly hour yesterday to watch the game? Nice early morning sky you captured there!

Beautiful sky photo - and rugby is pretty hard to resist if you are from NZ!

Dare I admit that I was up in Auckland doing city tours from Art Week both Sat and Sunday and didn't see a stitch of Rugby, nor did I get rained on. Nice shot though, it captures the weather well.
