The 2 white doves


So since we've moved here we've heard occasional cooing noises from our neighbour's roof and around the street and I've only seen 1 of these white doves so far. On Sunday we spotted them on our roof and although they were only there for a few minutes they stayed there long enough for me to run inside and get my close up lens. Friends have commented to me online that they tend to make a bit of a mess but luckily they weren't there for long before they flew off.

  

 

 

Other than that there is plenty of Spring life in the garden around the house but plenty of weeds too. I had to don my gloves and get into the soil and pick out the unwanted ones before they get any bigger.

Birds can be annoying especially if they hang out on roofs. The flowers are very pretty. Good luck with your battle with the weeds, no one likes them. :)

We have swallows that made our eaves their home and each year they come back and make a lot of mess.

You must have quite a show of colour in your garden. Hope you win the battle of the weeds.

I've just enjoyed a wee tikitour of the posts since I last commented. So I'm now up to date again. Yes doves/pigeons can make a terrible mess of a roof - I know that from personal experience.

Lovely flower shots … having visited many cities that are plagued with pigeons, they can be a downright nuisance with their 'mess' on anything that happens to be below them - cars, statues, benches, you name it!

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
