Black billed gulls

This photo taken last time we were in Taupo still amuses me. I think I took this shot just at the right time, do you think the gull was trying to tell me something or just look important?

So with our general elections getting closer we were able to get down to our local community centre with our voting cards and vote a bit early. 

It doesn't matter who wins quite frankly, well it does but I'm going to be very happy when it's all over.

A new party in power is not going to change alot I think but life goes on.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

We have local elections this weekend. As you say, whoever gets in life is not going to change.
Mr Seagull is looking very important. It's a good idea to have information about them and other birds and wildlife

All political parties are same. We still pay tax and watch the corruptions unfold.

"Look, this is me!"

It was once said that it doesn't matter too much what party is in power, the government stays the same...

Not 100% so, but near enough

That gull was posing for you.

Politics has gotten very toxic here in the USA.

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.
