The last full moon of 2019



Last week saw our last full moon for 2019. For us it was the brightest and most vibrant I've seen in a long time as it crept up above our neighbour's roof into the sky. For something different I drove down to our local estuary and parked near the boat ramp.  The water was so still and quiet as the tide slowly lapped the sand.

Here's to next year's moons of 2020.

May you see many more. For me gazing up at the moon over the sea like your picture is about as peaceful as I can get.

Great shot, the moon here was fantastic as well, super bright and it seemed like the full moon two full days and the day after the official full date.

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 .

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.

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 ...
