Canada Geese at Moana


Another part to our Moana mini road trip last week. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me, only my cellphone so I tried to get some decent photos. At one of the smaller lakes (there are 6 apparently) there was this run down jetty that had a closed sign on it. 


It was such a still quiet Autumn day that this is what the water looked like - a mirror.



These birds were just taking off as I stopped there, I think from my research they are Canada Geese, it's a bit hard to tell but they are mainly black, white and brown.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's signs.

Great photos you got from your phone. Goes to show it is not the camera, its the person holding the camera that makes the images.

Awesome shots, especially just using your phone!
Love how still the water is—like glass.

Happy Friday, Amy!

If they were honking while they were flying, they were Canadian Geese for sure.

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. 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 ...
