Autumn morning reflections - leaves and rain




 This morning while out on a big walk I snapped a few photos of what I see when I'm out on my local travels. I don't know about you but I find if I don't do a bit of exercise each day I get tired by the afternoon so if I get out and do something I feel alot better for it. Above is a Bromeliad filled with water in the garden outside my bedroom window.



Autumn leaves close up at the end of my driveway, this tree is beautifully covered with red/yellow colours.



South Pacific Bible College just up the road from where I live - we woke up to some rain this morning so there are lots of puddles still about.



Watery drips still remain on alot of the trees - this one like many here are now bare and with this one I could just see a view of part of the city over a house roof.




I had to take a photo of this one - leaves resting on the back window of a black car I walked past along with leftover rain drops.

Leaves and rain --two of my favorite things! (Yes, I'm one of those weird people who love rain.)
There's an entire world in the middle of that bromelid ... The reflections in that water drop look amazing when the picture is enlarged on my iPad! Beautiful Autumn shots every one!

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
