Rainbow Pride


I've been pushing myself out in the mornings again to go walking, I went through a brief period where I got lazy and it became too easy to stay at home.  So early one morning when there wasn't many people out and about I snapped this photo of one of the many rainbow pride coloured benches in town. I like how the colours light up the rest of the gray.

Great pic and yay for being back out in the mornings!
3C here, I wait till I have to walk to my company, but come warmer temps I tend to copy you :-)
Beautiful lights and quite a sign of hope for tolerance.

The morning is the best time of day to to get out and photograph. That's my humble opinion.

What a great way to brighten up a boring old park bench. Bring it on.

I like these early bird moments. You´ve got the hole City for yourself. Nice bench.

I also got out of the daily walking habit due to the pandemic when it was just easier to stay inside. I'm also trying to get back to it. The bench is pretty--love the rainbow colors and pride encouragement.
Can't miss that bench. Keep up the good work!

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.
