Full Summer Moon


We've had very clear skies lately, not something that happens often. We heard there was a blood moon for those in the northern hemisphere but sadly us southerners had no such luck. At least I got this shot of the full moon though over the weekend which was very quiet, I had sunblock on but still got slightly burned while water-blasting our outside deck.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday.

Great photo of the moon - I just decided it was too hard to even get motivated to try!

Great photo. I got up and thought the outside light was on it was so bright. Didn't go out to try and get a photo though.

It was a beautiful moon, but we only saw it white too...I've seen a red moon in the past, but then as it does it lost the colour. This time where we were camping we had the horizon hidden so only saw it later. I've replied to your comment on my blog...do visit Whanganui!!

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 .

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 ...
